Junk Drawer!

About fifty lids that go to cottage cheese or yogurt tubs.

-------------------------------------------
Confession- My apartment comes with a pantry that reaches to the ceiling, and is about 4 feet deep. It's supposed to be for canned goods, linens, etc.

I don't have a junk drawer. I have a junk closet.

I call it "The Oubliette". In the 1980s fantasy film "The Labyrinth", the Goblin King sends anyone he wants to forget about down into this pit called "The Oubliette". It's French for "Place of Forgetting".

So yeah. I don't have a junk drawer. I have an entire 10'x3'x4' Oubliette full of tools, Christmas ornaments, rubber bands, towels and sheets, tote bags, electrical stuff, old phones, etc etc etc &etc.
 
Everyone has coins in their junk drawer. There's about 22 cents worth of coins, and you've been too lazy for the past four years to pull the coins out. But, like everything else in there, it'll come in handy someday.

I have coins and coins that are no longer in use and leftover change from vacations, foreign coins I can`t use here. Always coins floating around on the bottom of it.

The marten digged through our insulation and caused damage to our house. We had to use a repellent.

Loudspeakers producing ultrasonic sounds were being used. The marten wasn't harmed in the process, they were just being dislodged.
 
He slept right over my head in the insulation layer of our roof. I thought I was going insane, l always heard scratching sounds at night. When you are still half-asleep this can be rather scary. I though the roof would fall down on my head.

The more you tell the worse it sounds, maybe it`s less cute if you have one right above your head at night.
 
A screwdriver that is a little damaged and worn so it slips on the screw head when you use it, can't get a good grip. That`s a standard junk drawer screwdriver.

I forgot that you are well north of my 45 degrees, north. Martens here are found in the Rocky Mountains or very northen Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I have only seen, maybe three, in my life.

I have a big dusty box of that kind of stuff that I have to go through in the next week or so. It's mostly my daughter's old homeschool work. It'll be fun but sneezy to go down memory lane.
