My mother found a giant box of my important papers from back when I needed to hide a lot of documents during trauma. I have no memory of giving her those specific papers and they're probably useless / outdated now so that means I'll have to go through thousands of pages of stuff and put them through a shredder, except that my shredder died so now I'll have to buy a new one.
I wanted to ask her if she happened to find my uni degrees because they went missing at that time, but I was struck mute and couldn't get the words out. Now I'll need to ransack her house sometime when she's not home to check.
Maybe I'll send her out to buy me a shredder.
I tend to shred documents as they become redundant. I would dislike the chaos of a box of important papers.
