Mistake about Frank McCourt Jr.

 In another entry, I mistakenly made the assumption that Frank McCourt Jr., the successful businessman and billionaire, was the son of “Angela’s Ashes” author Frank McCourt.  I jumped to this conclusion because Frank McCourt Jr. popped up when I was trying to google search Frank McCourt the author.  I shouldn’t have jumped to this conclusion considering how many people typically share any given name.  It’s too bad though.  It would have been one hell of a story if Angela from “Angela’s Ashes” had a grand child who became a billionaire!

Frank McCourt the author had one daughter.

Things Belong Together

 Things belong together. For example, a plate that I have saved that is meant to be used underneath of a candle should be with whatever candles I have.  If I value the usefulness of this plate, then it should be kept with my candles and not in some drawer in the garage where I forget that it exists.  That just doesn’t make any sense at all.  I don’t know what has taken hold of me to suddenly experience such organization and storage enlightenment.  ðŸ˜‚  Oh and any currently unused nightlights that I still wish to keep should be stored in the same location as night light bulbs.  It just makes the most sense.  Oh thank you fairy of storage knowledge for the imparting of your beautiful wisdom! 😚🩷 😯 My miscellaneous drawer is proving to be work.  I’m realizing that most of its contents should really be stored somewhere else.  I’m not finished yet so this may prove to be true of all of its contents.

Alternate Activity

 Well instead of going to jury duty (after not being selected) this week, I am tackling a clean out of my bookshelves lining the walls of my garage which is made possible with two strong fans.  This is the part that I neglected when I previously worked on my possessions clean out.  I am downsizing my collection (less can actually be better) and better organizing them.  The excess will be dropped off at Goodwill stores.  The last time I did this was before we moved in the summer of 2018.  It does go against my nature to get rid of good books, but I never stop wanting to acquire more from thrift stores, library book sales and etc. so this becomes necessary.  I will always find more, so this is not a problem.  It is also good for Goodwill if I purchase them and then donate them back again. ☺️  Now I just need boxes.   Note to self:  Don’t forget that I already have this book. 🫢 I guess I should at least keep one copy. Oh dear, in atte...
