The best part was the application for a Visa Black card. I'm still laughing. It has to be because of where I live, NOT how much money I have.
What gets me is my medication from the pharmacy.....I have a medication that I wouldn't want anyone to know my address as that would make it UNSAFE for me physically. My name & address is not only on several of the boxes, but on every piece of paper that's associated with the medication along with the name of the medication.......so I have to take a black marker & line it all out hoping to get every place it's on........If I had my act together, I would have the marker right there in the bathroom & every month I would mark that's month's prescription off but I didn't think about it for quite some time initially.....so I had a whole trash bag full of those boxes that I needed to use the marker on & find every place my name & address was written.....grrrrrr. Honestly don't know why the pharmacy needs to put name & address.....definitely a waste of MY TIME to have to do that....it felt like it took forever because I would get distracted & then have to remember to get back to what I was doing......which is actually my problem with decluttering & cleaning in the first place.....I get started & then remember something with a higher priority that needs done & then forget where I was when I get finished with the higher priority task if some other higher priority task doesn't hit me in the mean time.

Throw it all in one room & close the door.....then take out one square foot of stuff at a time when one gets around to opening the door. The only benefit to having a huge home that's too big for what I need.....but some rooms don't have doors to close off & are piled with empty boxes from things I've bought like a carpet cleaner.

I really like the plastic boxes for storage rather than the cardboard boxes because they are less likely to attract the silver fish also.

What I hate it when I organize one thing & when finished, it doesn't even put a dent into the messy look.
