Isn't it strange how stuff turns up when you're not looking for it
anymore?
I've been trying to sort things out for when I go into hospital to
have the
baby, and today I thought I'd pack the baby's bags as his needs
shouldn't
change a lot between now and then, and it gives me a chance to see if
there's anything else I need.

Some weeks ago, I was sorting through my daughter's old baby clothes
to see
how much neutral stuff I had. We were really sad as we thought we'd
lost one
of our fave babygros. It was one of a set of two, and we could only
find
one. Also, I guessed I'd given away a load of other bits that I
couldn't
see.

I just got the bag out of the cupboard that I intended to pack today,
and it
was filled with all the bits I've been looking for!! I love it when
that
happens. You kind of give stuff up as lost for good, then you find it
all
again! As someone with a crappy memory when it comes to where stuff
is, it
always cheers me up!

I'm one of those pack-rats that saves everything 'just in case'. I've
got a method (of sorts) for keeping it all organized, but I am
frequently unable to find things I know that I'd saved.

But it's mostly all gone now - Diane threw much of it in the trash when
she moved to her new place; I couldn't be there to stop her.

Most of it was junk, but some of it was memories. I'd saved about two
dozen baseball T-shirts from all of Paul and Sarah's sports teams. I
devoted a large chunk of my life to their teams, and even helped coach a
few of them. The shirts were different than pictures and trophies - they
were actual relics of those times - tactile reminders of their sports
years. I'm sorry to have lost them.
