Closets

Hi Mylot - I have missed you! I know you're probably wondering where I've been! -- In a word - closets. It all started a week and a half ago - when I became house-keeper for this cute little kitty named Bridgette, the cat who is staying with me for a month. It's hard to explain, but in order to store kitty's stuff, I cleaned out 2 shelves in a storage closet. And that kicked the whole thing off. In my apartment, though it is small - I have 3 closets. In addition to the my 3 closets being cram packed full of clothes and 2 chests of drawers - I had 6, yes, 6 20 gallon trash bags full of clothing that gets switched around seasonally. That's an insane amount of clothing. So I spent the better part of a week trying on many pieces of clothing. Anything that "just about fits" or fits but didn't look good on, (yes that's a thing), or things that I like, but just don't like wearing (that's a thing, too) -- anything like that got bagged up to be donated. I didn't get down to where I wanted to be - but I did manage to get rid of about 5, 20 gallon bags of clothes. The nice thing about all of this is that an acquaintance of mine is having a clothing swap next weekend. What is a clothing swap? You ask. Come and bring any clothes you don't want anymore and you can take what others bring. I don't even care if I get any clothes in return. At the end of it all, anything that people don't take, this lady will donate. Excellent. Last night I did one of my final projects my crafts shelves and pantry. I should be on here more from now on . Though this coming week will be my yard care week. How have you all been? Photo: Me

@MGjhaud That's a good thought, too, when you can alter something

Been fine thanks Faye. So nice to see you back. What a nice kitty kat then. Also to get rid of clothes is so great isn't it? I have nearly nothing now and it feels great.

She's a sweet cat, I will be very sad when she needs to go to her owner. It does feel so very good to downsize clothes so true and happy to hear that has been your experience, too

Oh i know those clothes very well. I have clothes that don't fit, clothes that just fit, clothes that fit but not sure how they look on me, clothes that fit good and look nice, then clothes that are a bit big. Aha.

Doing well here except for a painful back tweak. I am waiting for call from my acupuncture person who fixed it really well with one treatment (24 needles) several months ago.

That is amazing to get rid of so much. Your apartment must seem lighter and roomier. I got rid of a lot of clothes a few years ago but more gradually.

@FayeHazel I hope so too here. I could get rid of clothes that other people might like. And no need to put them in the garbage.
