*match strikes, lights fuse* *cue Mission: Impossible theme* (I tried to find a gif but all I got was stuff from the Tom Cruise movies, mostly Cruise in a wire harness)

I hope I get everything organized before I find it because finding it will zap all my motivation.

I am “I should keep this box, it’s a good box” years old.

I once used a part in my giant crate of possibly useful parts that I had kept just in case for more than 20 years and through a transatlantic move to MacGyver something for my wife. I have never felt as vindicated.

Seriously, there are few better feelings than “wow, I’m glad I kept this super handy thing!”

That started early, for me. That age was roughly 12.

Ngl, I probably did, too. Just now I have more boxes from which to choose. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I just emptied a box that started out in Chicago… in Feb 2022. Please clap.

This is (at least) four different works in progress. When I was a kid I used to purposefully tangle up thread/rope/string/yarn just so I could untangle it. This is my kind of puzzle. No yarn shall be cut today.

Yeah, I have been convinced to post my shame on the internet.

I just want to talk to 2022 Hillary, why did she not throw away all the tiny AF yarn scraps?!

Now I’m onto organizing the fabrics. @legalcat.bsky.social, I still haven’t made anything for us from these stupid (affectionately) trash panda astronauts.

I FOUND IT. Motherfucker was in a box that I should’ve checked first because I knew which kind of box it would be in. The banana is for scale.

2020 mask-making leftovers? (eyes my own giant spool of 1/4th inch elastic)

I did wait to check the living room boxes because I kinda thought it would be there and I wanted to use this as an excuse to organize some other shit. But I probably should’ve looked here a month ago.

This is what I had labeled the moving box. January Hillary was right, this box was important.
