…And finally decended down the other side! Yes…I’ve finally conquered the mountain! I’ve gotten the victory! What victory you ask? The battle has been 11 years to this final conclusion. My mountain? Paperwork.

Ok…you are probably laughing, but I’m serious. I have been fighting to get rid of and organize paperwork for 11 + years…since before I left the ex. I had 15 years of postal paperwork, which also included EEO case files for cases I was handling, along with the magazines and scribblings I did for the union newspaper as the writer and editor.

I’ve had tons of notes taken in church or bible studies, along with my book of poetry, and my other notebooks of my writings. Add to all this,  the divorce, the case work with all the government agencies I’ve had to deal with from child support to the VA, to DCF and housing and so forth, as well as receipts I’ve kept due to being audited a year after kicking out the ex, because he messed up my taxes…it goes on and on.

However, I am pleased to say that I have now finally gotten rid of the big file cabinet (4 drawer) and the small one is being used for office supplies, so my paperwork currently fits into 1 large, and 1 medium tub, with a separate box for my writing stuff. It is all filed, or in binders, and finally defeating this demon has freed up my life to a great extent.

This is why you haven’t seen my much around these parts lately. I was in that last leg where you have to expend so much energy in a final push for the victory.

On other fronts…lil Miss Smokes or “Tootsie” as she prefers, is in heat. Poor baby…she’s just seven months old and already…and she’s meowing and rowring (spell check) all over the place, pushing her lil booty in the air for me to rub on the backside on her tail. She’s been all over my foot, holding on and even biting a bit. We (my son and I) say she has an “itchy batchie” problem, that won’t quit, and she can’t get any relief from. Of course my big boy Benny is of no use. It’s like he doesn’t even know what’s going on…tried to get on her once, but he’s fixed so he can’t do much for her.

At any rate..it’s short and sweet today. Will be back with more on the study soon. Doing research. Peace and blessings.
