(Is the Nordstrom's in Phoenix, perchance? Or would that also be too easy?)

Also too easy, I'm sure, unless Phoenix has a special magical Nordstrom's specializing in bras that are larger than some zip codes.

Or maybe the stamps will be reborn if I burn them. I don't know.

I thought MY system was wacky. But no: you win.

To be fair, some things were labeled reasonably and contained only one topic. But there were definitely times when I repurposed a folder and didn't relabel it, started stuffing "miscellaneous" into one place, and kept a ton more junk than I should have.

It's somehow reassuring that my organizational skills aren't massively worse with vet school. It's not that I'm busy now and can't keep up. Oh no. I've always been like this.

Those FF miles may have migrated to new airlines via merger; it can't hurt to check.

True. Either way, keeping the slip of paper is still over the top. :)

Does the Nameless One at least label them? That's a step better than I was apparently doing. I'd take a folder that was empty and start putting things in it, probably thinking I'd label it later... :)
