Yes, it is amazing how much I’ve accumulated, and so depressing when I remember the time I got those items. Tech books in particular document technology that’s so obsolete. I found an old original Zilog Z80 programming book, for example… As for Alzheimer’s, I’m still angry over how they tried to force Aduhelm on us, and it caused Medicare prices to rise so that we could all pay for it. You can read more about that crap drug here: https://khn.org/news/article/medicare-ruling-aduhelm-controversial-alzheimer-drug-critics/

Anyway, I’m working to clean up all the stuff I didn’t do when I was officially employed because I was working too many hours and too tired when I came home. At least it keeps me busy and my time and mind occupied. And when I succeed and finish a task, I’m a lot more satisfied than when I never seemed to accomplish much of anything important in a paying job.

Even armed with that knowledge, getting rid of the surplus is a task. When we bought this place I built an entire shed just to hold the extra stuff that was in paid storage. Can’t say I’ve made any significant progress in getting rid of it either. After clearing out my Dad’s place you’d think I’d be better motivated.
I sure hope you don’t succumb to Alzheimer’s; seen too many cases of that and it’s horrible (the Mrs. is in the UK again dealing with her sister who has it severely).
