“Just in Case”

Hello,



In my sewing box there are small bags of thread that have taken up residence. Those bags came into my house attached to a sweater. Of course I could not throw them away because of “just in case I might need it”. There is quite a nice supply, unfortunately I have no idea which sweater they came with or if we still own the sweater. The other day I needed to sew a bow back on a basket so I used the thread from the closest match. It worked so it did have a purpose. However, I thought, “I am not moving all of these things. When we are ready to move some of these will go.”



There were a number of buttons also residing in this sewing box, which is rarely opened since sewing is not a hobby of mine. The buttons also reside there because of just in case. Those we have used a little bit more as we do not have to know where the button came from but we just try to match what is.



We are good at saving many papers that are sent to us by our bank or other businesses with which we have a connection. However, “the just in case” message is not always kept perfectly. Perhaps it is the loose filing system. We wanted to know where to deposit the cash we received for selling the car. We could not find the paper that had the information about which credit unions were “friends” with our distant credit union. That paper also had some instructions about the procedure. Luckily, Leroy called our financial establishment to get the information. Now our file folder is updated with the needed information. Leroy went there today. He reported that it was easily done.



Leroy is especially happy that the car sold. He does not like dealing with such things. He figured he would post it for a week. If it was not gone then he would just give it away to some organization. It sold in about four days. We figure the price was right.
