Paperday

Ah, the paperwork sorting & packing day was always going to be the worst.

Apart from the current miscellany marking Life Here and Now, there is paperwork stretching back through the years, from Big Milestone legal documents & certificates to as-yet unresolved matters: the Madeiran Shipping fiasco, the problematic US Pension Paperwork (addressed to me at a house which has since been knocked down - the post kindly redirected from the golf course next door). My habit is to go through everything, to make sure that I'm not moving extraneous stuff, but it's intense work, shifting from professional to personal and back again.

Needless to say, this is the kind of day you break up into Baby Steps. And it's been divided up nicely: friends dropped in for coffee this morning, then lunch out, and now I've paused again, and the kitties have bounced in from the garden declaring it to be Snuggle Time. Which is fine be me. Days like this work kinda like the Incident Pit in scuba diving - you resolve your issues as you go, so that they don't cumulate into Ginormous Wig-out Panic.

Because Ginormous Wig-out Panic is something we try to watch out for, and avoid :-)
