3rd Entry for today.

While I was cleaning my closet I found a check that has been missing since February. It is a refund check from the orthodontist for $55.60 and it was nowhere near the portion of my bedroom that I thought I'd lost it in, either!

I thought it had fallen between the baseboard of the bed and the mattress/boxsprings and rather insistently continued to search in that area because that was where I remember it last being. I found it in a laundry basket in the closet that DH had shoved a bunch of stuff in one night so we could change the sheets on the bed, since I'd had everything spread out on it. Back in February. I told you the closet needed going through!

The check doesn't say anything about being void if not cashed in a certain amount of time so I will try to deposit it into savings tomorrow. I am so happy to have found this, it has been an irritant for 8 months.

The closet is only half done. It is taking longer than I expected but the good news is that there is a lot I can get rid of either by giving it away or recycling. Also have found 3 grocery bags of garbage so far. I don't know why I had so much plastic packaging in the closet when it should have been thrown away when whatever it contained was unpackaged. I don't remember putting it in the closet so it must have been DH and one of his bad habits, instead of one of mine.
