That’s right, folks – right now, I’m one sad little pack-rat. And, you guessed it, there’s only one way to make a pack-rat sad – take away its “treasures”! Lol. I was listening to music at the gym, and one of my favorite songs started playing. It was then that, from the recesses of my mind, I realized that I no longer have the shirt that bears some of the words of that song. How did that happen? Surely, I didn’t intentionally get rid of it! It’s so silly – since I haven’t even thought of the shirt in years, lol – but now, it bugs me that I don’t have it! Over the past couple of years, I have gotten a lot better with my penchant for hanging on to everything. My problem is that I am SO sentimental…I can tell you the story behind the “junk”, lol. For example, I got the shirt at a concert, and that’s something I never do. So, I’ll just shrug my shoulders, say, “Oh, well,” and pretend it doesn’t really bother me…and sometimes, pretending is all we can do, lol.
