mdlbear | More lessons learned (Reply)

More things I've learned over the last few days:

I can get through the morning and afternoon on five hours' sleep, five cups of coffee, and a late breakfast consisting of half a block of tofu. Just barely. Probably not twice in a row. I was feeling a little weak and dizzy by the time we started dinner around 5:45; Another 15 minutes and I'd probably have been on the floor. Thank goodness for tortilla chips and salsa!
I don't need to keep my physical cancelled checks, do I? How many times have I looked at one? Maybe twice in 40 years? I can just download images from the bank and I'll be fine.
I don't need to keep detailed records of closed-out accounts, either. Maybe a year-end statement and the 1099's which get filed separately, with the tax records, anyway.
If I have a close friend whose relationship to me is best described as "sister", that makes her and my wife "sisters-in-law". Good place to start from. Works for all gender permutations, obviously. Wish I'd known that three months ago, but if wishes were horses I'd have been buried in horse exhaust several decades ago.
My time machine is stuck in "play".
