Sorting Paper or Pants

After having my monthly lunch with my friend Hannah, my plan was to work on cleaning up my paper office. I have files in my drawers that have not been cleaned out in 25 years. I am a little curious about what I will find, but not curious enough to stick at if very long.

I started with the top of my desk, covered in financial paperwork to be sorted and possibly discarded. I got through that and a giant much needed storm broke out. No, it was not a tornado of paperwork, but actual rain and thunder.

Shay, standing at the top off the stairs started crying so I abandoned my office and went with her to her safe place, my bed. Well, I thought, there is plenty to be cleaned out in here.

I like to work in categories. So I decided to clean out and organize my folded pants in my closet. I have lost some weight and I have been having trouble finding the pants that are my current size. I have a store’s worth of sizes of almost the exact same pants.

I quickly discovered that most of my pants are too big so it’s time for them to go. I did discover three pairs in three different colors that fit perfectly and I am certain I will wear those three until they get too big. The only sad thing is I did not find any white pants that fit. Stone color will just have to do this summer.

Now I have created a new job, that of rehoming the too big pants. It is way more fun to try on pants that are too big, than sorting through finical paper work. The bottom line is cleaning out is cleaning out. .
