D, do you secretly have tent in here?

What?

Do you secretly have a tent in here?

Uh…

It’s a cleanout day, spring cleaning?

I’m dealing with the pileup. It’s not too bad, honestly. Just a collection of papers to be redistributed and reorganized. We’ve done a pretty good job of staying on top of things and I don’t feel disorganized.

Just a tune up.

You need it, once in a while. Keep the systems functional (or at least non-dysfunctional).

I find papers that mean nothing.

Straight to recycle.

Others that belong in a clear spot. Easy.

And still others that are a full on mystery.

Why did I write that? Why does this paper even exist?

And the work continues apace

Until I’m confronted with a collapsing 5-segment fibreglass tent pole, and confused by the question.

  1. Are you cleaning one of your kid’s rooms? I’m laughing at the unexpected items we sometimes find (like tent poles).
