osodecanelaI so need to work in/on my closet.
I have a walk in which at the moment is in shambles. I desperately need to go thru everything and reorganize. I need to cull the heard as my husband puts it. There are way too many things I will never wear again because they're either too large, too old, too threadbare, or too out of fashion. Anything that triggers, "what the hell was I thinking?" needs to go.
I have tons of things to wear now, but I need to wash everything that's not been worn in years and now fits, to rid myself of the mustiness.
Problem? The dryer is currently broken.
Rob was by week before last to try to get it started and decided it needs a new ignition, which he said he'd order thru his work. When we (he and his wife plus my husband and I) had dinner on Friday, he informed me the woman in ordering hadn't processed ordering the part until that morning, so I doubt I'll have a functional dryer before next weekend. Till then, all wash is being hung to dry, which this time of year means at least a day per load, unless I wanna pack up the car and head to the laundromat in town. (Thank you, no.)
This morning I put on a 19x36 shirt (even the collar fits) and a 2x sweater vest over the khakis gotten 10 days ago. Pulled on a pair of Nacona boots, looked in the mirror and felt very comfortable indeed walking out the door. I have a wonderful assortment of 19's to wear, but almost every one of them needs to be washed again before I wear them. I prefer to smell faintly of Pine-sol, than mildew or must.
I also have a growing list of people who could use some of my old clothes. No less than 4 people have called me to let me know of friends of theirs who need some of my old things.
Time to simplify. I just hope I have a dryer real soon to use. That'll make the process SO much easier.
(Stats so far? 63 lbs gone. Waist down 10 inches. Suit coat down 3 sizes. Shirts down 3 sizes. I reliably wear a 48 pant & a 19 shirt, but I'm now getting into some of my 2x things, like the sweater and coat worn this morning.)
