Final May 2012 Numbers
Okay Ladies - for several reasons I am feeling motivated to get focused and more structured in several ways ... So as a first step I am posting a question and a challenge/activity for everyone.
Question of the Week: If you had to evacuate your home in 10 minutes would you be able to find your important documents?
Challenge of the Week: If you answered “No” to the QOTW make time this week to collect your important documents (i.e. insurance policies, mortgage paper, passports, emergency cash, pet licenses, prescriptions, birth certificates etc.) into one easily accessed location. Preferably in a plastic waterproof container, and be sure the family knows where it is located.

QOTW: I have an envelope in my underwear drawer with birth certificates, passports and diplomas. I really do need to organize my insurance policies. I am working on a notebook that holds all financial etc passwords so I think I will include all policies in there too. Because if something happened to me my DH would be lost. He doesn't know what we got and what we don't. My sister would have to come sort it out.

QOTW: Yes I have all my documents in a fireproof box and DS#2's current documentation is in my file cabinet next to my desk, although if need be I could get copies of all his records so I wouldn't even try for those. I already have 2 boxes full of documentation for him which I will need once he turns 18 and I need to keep legal guardianship for him.

QOTW - yes I have two plastic file tubs that would go right into the trunk of my car in an emergency. I'd also be grabbing my bills folder, passport, laptop, chargers and dogs
Everything else would be extra. Actually I had a very vivid dream about this a few months ago so I know what I'd bring and in what order. Blankets, sleeping bag, water, canned goods, medicine, dog food, personals, jewelry... all the essential for me and the dogs

Since hurricane season begins every June and lasts for six months, I keep all of my important papers in a specific place that I can grab in a minute. I do keep a close eye on the weather during this time as well and if something is brewing in the area and seems to be heading my way I begin filling up suitcases with other items so if I have to leave I will be ready to get on the road within a short window of time. Among the many things I learned from Katrina is to stay prepared during this season.

Okay, my answer to the QOTW is "Yes" - most of my documents are in one place where I could grab them and run if I needed to. Though I am looking into the price of a fireproof box to move some of them into as an extra precaustion.
Some of what has been going on with me lately has to do with a severe lack of sleep as a result of the Chantix I am taking. I wrote about that and my job search in an updated post at: honeylioness.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=thoughts&thread=240&page=1
I have also been doing some creative work as well - something I really didn't even feel like doing for several months partly due to stress.
One of the things I have done is finally getting around to cataloging all my quilts, writing notes about them and uploading the pictures I had on hand or could find. I would like to know what you think - Leave me a message.

I have also started communicating with a man I met online about a month ago. What started as a rather routine sales transaction has, and is, taking a more personal trajectory. However I am not going to get too wrapped up in it - or get my hopes up it might go anywhere. And that is a purely self protective mechanism.
