Spring Cleaning on steroids

My town is having a Shredding Day. You bring boxes of stuff you'd ordinarily shred but never got around to and they'll do it for you. Stuff with your name, address, and account numbers on them, etc.

Blaming myself for hoarding, procrastination, and other things I have to work on, I allowed myself to collect 20 years of bank statements, bills to accumulate, albeit, in nicely stored in boxes.

I'm en route with 4 crammed boxes of my past. I've kept 7-8 years of my records with a new discipline of disposing every year the "eighth year's" records.

I feel so good about this.

but my skin is turning green and my slacks don't fit like they did a minute ago.

Just make sure that you watch them actually shred your stuff before you leave. One of those on site shredders got in trouble here for not shredding but instead taking the papers back to the office and reading through them.
