Oh yeah, can I relate to that!! I truly sympathize, CJ. Handling mail is the bane of my existence. I can put the obvious junk directly into the recycle bin and put the bills aside to be paid, but what about all the rest of it? What do I do with the semi-junk (catalogs, store newsletters, ads for things I might actually be interested in buying) that I want to look at before I toss? And magazine renewal reminders -- do I really need to renew it now, or does the subscription actually run for seven more months? They never tell you on the notice, so I have to find an issue of the magazine to check the label, or decide if I really want to renew it at all or not. And all the other stuff that can be put off before it's handled? I've done what you did altogether too many times. Fortunately I haven't had it get destroyed, but I have put it away so thoroughly that I forgot about it ... until next month's bills came all marked "past due."
I've seen them on TV drying out library books after a flood ... hopefully you'll be able to at least tell what the various pieces were so you can request a duplicate for the important stuff. Good luck with it!
