Productive Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day! I've been having a super productive couple of days - Yesterday I mailed in my health insurance application, picked up the first of possibly many applications for a second job, and did a load of laundry, and today I went through all my clothes to see what was in good enough shape to take to a consignment shop, did two more loads of laundry that included my bed sheets, and cleaned up my closet a bit, in the process of which I found this awesome old trunk that I assume was my dad's when he was a kid because it had a bunch of "Boys Life" magazines and really old Tarzan books and books about outdoorsy stuff inside it:


I took all the stuff out of it and put it in bags (which still reside in my closet...) and it needed a good wipe down with a wet paper towel, so I did that and also put a bunch of incense sticks inside it in hopes of getting rid of the intensely musty odor that greets you when you open it up.

The funny thing is, I've been craving a trunk like this lately. Not that I would have bought one, because to be honest I really don't have room for one! But I was window shopping around Craigslist just to get some sort of satisfaction. I love old trunks!

I have to go to work in a little while, so I'm going to sign off now and see if I can't get anything else done before then.
