I've been going through my bedroom closet this week. I haven't really done much with it in years. Generally the clothes I've been wearing these past several years I just lay out on a chair or on the stand that had until recently been parked in front of the closet.  The clothing in the closet is stuff I haven't worn since 2009 or so. The other stuff in there are mostly things that were tossed in to get them out of the way. That's the only explanation I can find for the stack of empty computer component boxes I found in there. The longbow and the quarterstaff on the other hand I remember vividly. The longbow belonged to my father and is sixty years old. The quarterstaff I've had since 1998, it was a gift from an old friend who passed away a few years back.

I just poked around on the shelf just now, there wasn't a great deal on it. Found some old disks and CDs that look to be mostly backups of old projects.  There were a few mementos from events of the first year I lived in the house. Also found a forgotten box containing a packet of hydroentangled polyester wipes. Used to use them for cleaning camera lenses back when. There was a pair of SanDisk earbuds up there too. Those probably came with the mp3 player I got in 2006. I prefer headphones to earbuds, probably always will.

Sometimes I get this sense that I'm camping out in my own house. I never intended to be living here this long. When I moved here I had a plan to only stay a year or two and move on where opportunity led. Things don't always work out as we hope.
