I don't think I've been this disorganized in my entire life.
I clean my office and two days later it's utter chaos. Papers everywhere.
I clean my house (or hire someone to clean my house -- thank you Erin!) and within four days it looks like a rubbish heap. Clothes, shoes, stuff everywhere.
I'm afraid to get the mail because there is so much more paperwork to do with Aunt Muriel's affairs (both health and financial) now added to the mix of paperwork that haunts the average person.
Word to the wise -- if you are approaching the age for Medicare, get your filing system organized now. Scan and keep copies of everything health related. And be prepared for any and all phone calls about and to Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part D, Part XYZ, etc.) to be a minimum of 30 minutes long while you go over and over and over everything again and again and again. (Get the picture?)
It's getting to me, this disorganization.
I'm purchasing organizing thing-a-ma-bobs like crazy in an attempt to keep up.
It ain't workin' honey.
Seems you have to actually take the time to organize as you go -- time that I just don't seem to have if I'm also to have something that resembles a healthy life (you know -- exercise, racquetball, time spent with friends, etc.).
I'm not whining, really. I love my life. Love my hubby, love my aunt, love my job. I just need an extra four hours in each and every day for the rest of my days on this earth.
Is that too much to ask?

I so relate. My mom left her house and goods directly to me and my bro., with life interest for my dad - and I now have accounts and statements and files for the running of my dad's household, repairs, car maintenance, a bunch of little things, and the days aren't long enough. If you find good methods/equipment for staying on top of all this, let me know!
