Update on the Card Room

I haven't posted in a few days. I have three boys and with the holidays ending, all three of them are now in sports and so after work, much of my time is spent at practices. My oldest is playing basketball through a nearby city league and he is practicing and weigh lifting with his his high school baseball team. My middle son is playing flag football. Usually our kids play through the city where we live, but the city is not doing sports at this time, so this is through NYS. It's our first experience with NYS and so far it hasn't been great, but hopefully it will improve. My youngest, I have mentioned before, is playing baseball on a club ball team, so he practices twice a week and has a couple of tournaments each month. 

Anyways, the time I have to spend on the hobby has been a bit limited and most of that time has been spent trying to clean and organize my card room. I've showed this a couple of times now, but here is the before.

I am making progress and yesterday I was up at 4 am so I could work on it for several hours before we had to leave for a basketball and football game. Today I slept in until 5:30 am, but it is looking better.

The closet, which you can't see in the before picture, was a mess, but I've got it pretty clean, not organized like I would like, but at least cleaned.

So far, so good, right? Well when you see the other side of the room, you can see how much remains and none of this is even visible in the before picture.

So I still have a lot of work to do. Plus I have a full size filing cabinet and another 6 5,000 count boxes and some other monster boxes and various other things that I pulled out of the room that I need to find a place for. Yikes! 

I've also been so busy with work, kids sports and organizing that I haven't opened any mail that I've gotten in the last week or so. I've got 8 items that I haven't opened yet. Most are from eBay, but there are a couple from fellow bloggers. I think that's probably the most mail I've ever had waiting to be opened. I usually open my mail right away. So Bo and Gavin, I got your envelopes, but haven't opened them yet.

I hope your 2021 is going well and you are making progress on your hobby related and other goals. My question for you is regarding your mail. What is the most hobby related pieces of mail that you've ever saved to open in one day?
