In the course of my sorting and filing I've run across all sorts of fun things.
Naturally, finding all those fun things makes me want to stop what I'm doing and HAVE fun with them!
But I'm stern with myself and onward I go.
In a box labeled 'Sort and File!' I find an unexpectedly poignant batch of papers.
They are pay stubs and other items related to my time at Johnny Nolon's Casino in Cripple Creek, Colorado.
I stare at them in mute astonishment.
Glancing through them makes me want to weep.
I miss working there. I miss being there. I miss it all.
Including the income that those pay stubs remind me (painfully) I'm not getting any more.
Sigh.
I didn't look at all of them.
One was enough.
It showed that, in one two-week pay period, I made just about as much in tips as I bring home in an entire month doing what I do now. And the regular pay was double THAT.
Sigh.
Back to sorting and filing in my studio.
