Organization Is Sanity

Pretty uneventful day. The usual daily job search, then I decided I was really tired of looking at the stacks of paper we have on our dining room table. We have been given so much paper work since we arrived, it's insane. We bought a bunch of binders weeks ago but haven't made use of them. Today was the day to change that.

Why can't the world have a standard paper size? The UK's standard is A4 (Letter) and A3 (Legal), therefore their binders are different too. And they're all 2 ring. So everything is longer and narrower than our Canadian/US. Therefore, any paperwork we brought, does not fit properly into the UK binders, and if you want to put it in anyway, you have to re-punch the pages. Anyway, a few hours spent reorganizing our mess, and we're good to go.

As Dale, Lauren, Olivia, and Emma are coming up for the weekend, Keith and I went for a big grocery order to feast on. It's surprising how much you can fit in this small fridge/freezer. By the time we got home we figured, shit this isn't gonna work. Thankfully it did. However, to Keith's dismay there is not enough room for food and beer. We knew we brought the cooler for a reason.
