I spent the day getting reedy to go. It was one of this small projections into the future.. Where your entire today focuses on the tomorrow coming up. I guess in this case it was warranted . I’m going to be in Africa all week.. And that takes some getting ready… No doubt… Still l I’m looking for a bonus today when I get back to make up for the time I spent thinking about tomorrow

Actually.. I didnt spend all of my time getting ready today,.. I spent some of it working with Diane on clearing out all of the upstairs bedrooms.. We now have all 5 bedrooms free of storage and junk,. No small feat. The biggest job of that.. Was taking care of a bunch of SAMs stuff. We have boxes and boxes of his..and our lives.. Just before he died… All the way back to before his birth. School papers, umbillical cords. Poems . Teeth. Cap guns. Clothes.. What does one do with that kind of stuff ? Everything can’t be a relic.. We have to move forward… But the thought of throwing stuff away is equally hard.. As diane says though .. Were throwing out stuff.. Not him….
In the end we made great progress today.. Stuff all boxed and tagged for posterity.. Until the
next time we need to go through it…

Nite all, nite Sam
