Stuffing My Clutter

Remember my 3 a.m. panic earlier this week?

The sheer volume and height of clutter in my master bedroom was daunting.

But I’ve learned during this deslobification process to not trust my perceptions of clutter.

Stuffing My Clutter at ASlobComesClean.com

There was a certain basketfull of clothing that had been perplexing me. It was behind other clutter, but I could see enough to know it was clean clothes. I assumed it was winter clothing that somehow lost its way during a Seasonal Clothing Switchover.

I assumed enough to keep me from trying to tackle it.

But I did wonder how on earth it could be such a BIG pile.

Once I finally tackled it in the wee hours of Tuesday, I realized . . . it wasn’t a huge pile.

It was stuffed.

Underneath a layer of four or five pieces of clothing were these:

Stupid Hangers ASlobComesClean.com

Space-taking, easy-to-stick-in-the-laundry-room-six-feet-away-where-I-actually-need-them hangers.

They were stuffing my clutter pile.

Just like Shirley stuffed her bra when she and Laverne had to work at the ten-cents-a-dance place when they were laid off from Shotz for three weeks.

Perception.

Hmmmph.
