To sort, to press, to launder, to give away and to write about
Today has been a day to shun a few other tasks in favor of cleaning out a section of the clothes closet. In California we often have what many of the rest of you would consider four seasons' worth of clothing, since we can have cold fog in June as easily as we can experience seventy degrees and sun in late November. I took a realistic view of how often several garments are worn, laundered some that needed freshening and recycled or set aside for charity the ones that are useful but that no longer suit my personal needs.
These sorts of jobs take most of a day to accomplish, but this one will hopefully make it easier for me to relax on one of the upcoming weekend days I might otherwise be needed to spend on cleaning out the closet.
While I was staring at a pile of slacks that were stacked on the bed I realized that some of those pants had been to a lot of different places. Manybe someday a great writing exercise would be to pull a couple of random pieces of clothing out of the closet and talk about some of the places I've worn them.
