RDP Friday: junk

Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
 to get creative with the word “junk”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s my take.

If we had as much junk in our basement as seen in the image above, I’d be thrilled. I could clean out that amount of stuff in an afternoon. No, our basement looks more like the pic below. We have so much accumulated crap, it’s difficult to even move around …. and it’s mostly my husband’s. He has saved dozens of boxes of work files …. and he retired 16 years ago! Some of the companies he did business with don’t even exist anymore! Whenever I need something from the basement, I send him to look for it; he’s the only one who knows where anything is. He claims to have a method to his madness. Me? I just see the madness.
