My Boring Life Continues

I set aside time around the forth of July to get some much needed projects done around the house. That time is coming to an end and I feel like I was only about 30% productive. I did finish my third needlepoint seat and took it to the upholster to finish. I have not yet drawn my final chair seat, opting to work on some small ornaments for a change.

After coming home from the farmer’s market I decided to try and make more progress cleaning out my closet. I started with shoes a couple weeks ago. I did some of the hanging clothes last week, but not all. I also worked on folded pants last week. Today I cleaned out the wire drawers.

I came across some bathing suits, which have to be twenty years old, whose elastic has given way. I found a T-shirts from the inaugural Turkey trot Hannah started at DA in 2014. I unearthed a night gown I must have worn when Carter was a baby. Why these things were still in my closet goes to fact that once something goes in a drawer it rarely goes out.

I did add some labels so I will know what is in these drawers despite the fact that I can actually see everything through the wires. I have another large bag to donate and another to recycle.

It feels great to get this job behind me. I am a creature of habit. I think I found a dozen pairs of jeans all more or less the same profile, but in three sizes. (This after I already purged four sizes.) Hopefully two of those sizes I won’t need, but that will take a few more months.

It was a boring job, but glad that part is behind me. I still need to finish the hanging clothes. Maybe tomorrow. It’s boring, but great to get it off my never ending list.
