M&H - love your "rambling" I like what you wrote about the bubble wrap, very clever.
It's very true that they compartmentalize. My H even told me so. When he was moving out he said "I sure will miss my office". I couldn't believe what he was saying...he is leaving me and D and everything that was once dear to him and all he thinks about is that he is going to miss his office? I asked him about that and he said "I separate everything into little boxes in my head and my office is in one of the boxes" It didn't make much sense to me at the time, but it does now.
