Day 08 – A precious item

[bertine]

I have been thinking about this one for a couple days and I just can't think of anything that I am attached to enough that I would label it "precious". I mean, there are my cats but they are animals and not items. I have some artwork that I would be sad if I lost but none of it is irreplaceable. If there was a fire in my condo I would grab my cats and the backup to my computer*.

What is funny is that 10 years ago I was attached to everything, I had a hard time getting rid of things. Then something changed a few years ago and I kept purging my belongings to the things that I loved. When Zach moved in I really did go through everything that I don't think I have much that isn't useful or loved. However, none of it stands out more than anything else.


I would also curse myself for not having a fire proof safe for some of my mortgage papers but I keep putting that off

um, engagement ring?

I suppose. I forgot about that.

I do feel weird when I am not wearing it.

to be fair, i don't know what i'll pick for this entry, either.

I couldn't really think of anything either. There's things that I'd be like "bummer" but there's nothing I'd be totally distraught over.

Maybe it is just my mood but I couldn't think of anything.

Is your childhood memory box at your house, or with your parents? I'm in the process of scanning mine in just for this very reason - if the house ever burns down, at least I'll still have my baby photos and stuff.

I don't really have one. Maybe it is because I still go to my childhood house and live in my childhood neighborhood but when I purged things over the last few years I got rid of a lot of things.

I guess if I had to pick something it would be pictures, which are at my parents house. One of these days I am going to scan them.

I vote that you stop at Target on the way home tonight and pick up a fireproof safe.
