Possession #163 - File cabinets

When I was in grad school I had the perfect desk made out of file cabinets with a door laid on top of them. I don't have the door any more, but I still have need of file cabinets. They contain all the records of our life: taxes, house and car payments, bills, warranties, directions for replacing the filter on our vacuum cleaner, birth certificates, addresses, and on and on. Who would think that our lives, quite apart from the businesses where we work, would need so many records? Families could do with a good administrative assistant on staff. Unfortunately, it's just us. At least we have enough space for all the paperwork.
