Backsliding, But for Good Reason

Old winter favorite

Last year I made some progress on clearing the clutter. I went through closets and drawers and bagged up clothes that were in good condition. The bags and boxes were waiting for me to muster the initiative to take them to the local charity.

As in many other areas sheltering-in-place has caused me to re-evaluate priorities.

Marie Kondo's advice to tidy up is still important, but

No one's coming to visit;

I don't have to wear clothes to make an impression;

Some of my most comfortable garments were in the charity pile.

And so it was that I retrieved an old winter favorite to replace a damaged jacket.

It's been unseasonably cold.
