I'm glad to see so many are being given a chance and are thriving.

See? Tragedy.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My strategy is not to buy new hangers. When new clothes are bought, old clothes have to leave. FIFO, generally.
This is now my strategy with books.

I'm trying to purge a few things every couple months or so. Both books and clothes. It's working for me because the more often I ask myself if I really want to keep a particular item, the more likely the answer will be no.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, does anyone know anything about Masonic symbols?
Some.
And the word Yessop, associated with a ring?
No, sorry.
It's funny, because I think I have a ton of closet space now, because I have two closets, each of which are slightly wider than the door. But I still need to get rid of stuff!

I keep trying to empty mine, but now that the sewing machine works, I convince myself that I can make Frankenwardrobe.

Speaking of purging: I'm permanently deleting data and it's making me feel slightly ill. I mean, they promise me the tool is just removing stuff that has been obsoleted, and we DO have backups in storage, but oh god it would be so bloody painful to restore it if a lot of somethings got zapped that shouldn't. And such horrific timing.
But they promised.

OK, survey question: I'm going to my grandmother's birthday party this weekend. Her actual birthday isn't until later in the following week. Should I order her flowers to be delivered on the actual day, or give her something to open at the party, or both?

I have a ring that has what might be Masonic symbols on the inside of the band. We found it when we cleaned out Mom's jewelry cases, and none of us had any idea where it had come from. (I'd love to think there was some deep mystery there. Odds are Mom found it on the sidewalk one day while out walking, but I do like the idea of her sneaking off to super-secret female Mason meetings.)
Alas, I don't remember the word "Yessop" engraved anywhere on it, just a teeny, tiny compass.

Both. I say card & maybe small gift for party and flowers on the day. 'Cause it kinda sucks to feel like your birthday is over before it really is. You know?

Is the party at her house? If so, I might have them delivered the day before. That way, they are not another thing to deal with on the day you have people coming over. And then you know in advance that you have pretty flowers for the party.
