Well, we were supposed to run a whole slew of shopping errands today, but the weather has caused a change in plans. It’s a bit wet out for being outside. I was out for a whole two minutes to sprint down to the mailbox and back and I got drenched. Made me realize that I need to wash my raincoat because the water is no longer beading up on the Gore-Tex shell. I think that washing is supposed to help renew the water repellency. I’ll probably ask someone in Fabrics when I’m at work on Wednesday.
Coincidentally, today’s entry in my “Simple Abundance” book is about cleaning out your closet. I’ve been contemplating this for a while and what better time to do it than a junky, rainy day? Everything that’s too old and worn, doesn’t fit or isn’t something I really like or would want to wear – goes. I have two piles, one for trash and one for donations. Fortunately, the donation pile is significantly larger than the trash pile. Most of my clothes are in good shape, I just don’t like a lot of them. And I have A LOT of turtleneck and long sleeve shirts on which the sleeves don’t actually manage to make it to my wrists. Plus, a lot of old t-shirts and baggy sweaters and so it goes…
I figure that this is good time to clean out, since we’re going shopping tomorrow. I’m ready to start adding new clothes to my wardrobe that fit a little more with my internal image. Time for a change!
