Sorting Box of Documents Isn't Fun

Sweetie brought back a box of documents from my childhood home. I figured it won't take long to sort. Boy, I was so wrong. We already finished watching Firefly but I wasn't done yet. I sorted 10 boxes yesterday in the same amount of time I did a box of documents.

I have been sorting my Mom's things for over a year now. It's a lot of work. I haven't been able to continuously sort because it requires a lot of energy. The dust also always affects me. 

Today's box was from the room of my parents. Most were legal documents, Mom's address books, and diplomas/certificates. It included my Dad's law school diploma, my kindergarten diploma, old passports and bank books and possibly my niece's footprints when she was a newborn (it didn't have a name). 

I already have several boxes of documents. Sweetie already shredded a lot of documents which I think are not needed anymore. I actually asked a lawyer about Dad's old cases and he said I can shred them already since the notary public should have submitted them already. Good. Now I just need to research what to do with old passports and bank books (plus a gazillion IDs!). 

I really hope it's the last box of documents. I have about 10 big boxes to go through this weekend. Half are craft stuff, so that should be fun to do.
