I have like items hanging together (short sleeves, long sleeves, solids, patterns, blues, browns, grays, blacks). Jerry stuffs wherever there's a spot. It makes me nuts.

We all do. The only real argument we have ever had is when I insisted that David throw out the clothes he doesn't wear which included but were not limited to: clothes from 1970s when he was a skinny teenager, clothes from the 1980s including two brightly coloured low break wide shouldered blazers, clothes previously inherited from his dead father in law. OMG. It's like I was trying to wrench kittens from him to drown while laughing maniacally. But I am pretty ruthless too these days. Just chuck the stuff you don't need, relegate the t-shirts and gardening clothes to a drawer and you'll feel much better in yourself. First out the door are the size 34, "Constant reminder that you have failed somehow about something" trousers.

So I have to put away all the nice fashionable things and wear jeans and old tops .. scuffed boots and I still don't have a coat that is funky enough to not make me look like a City Slicker.<br />I don't care anymore.. I will dress the way I wish and keep in mind that I am leaving this place ... heading South..
