I also should throw in there, weeding the kennel and brushing the dog, because him trailing all that stuff in here is half of why it's such a disaster area right now. I mean, Hotblack Desiato levels.

Okay, apparently I am also doing clothes culling. [link]

It's Perkins' lovely red beaded silk shell size S, which is gorgeous but does not fit me, and a black linen/cotton dress size 8. Anyone want them? Yours for shipping.

All me all the time all your natter are belong to me mwahahah!

So, you know those wire-framed clear plastic containers that new linens come in? Does anybody else hang onto those in the misbegotten belief that they will one day do the linen origami that allows them to go back in the containers where they will be happily stored during offseason? And do you use them?

Because my mom does. But I just keep the containers, and never manage to get the linens back into them. I should just toss, yes?

Yes.

I use them for flannel sheets and some of my other bedding that I don't use in the summer.

See, I have the flannel sheets and stuff. They're folded and piled...next to the containers. I suppose it would protect from moth damage...

I use them for other things. And some I just...store.

I tend to put cloth storage in cloth...my duvets are stored in pillowcases, for instance...to ensure breathability and non-icky smellingness.

I went for a little walk! The mall across the street is open, but most of the stores are closed.

We have a few. Which are sitting empty, awaiting whatever I thought might store well in them. We should just throw them out, too.

ION, when I said earlier that I wasn't hungover, I was mistaken. Blueberry pancakes and a long walk with the dog did nothing to make me feel better.

I'm hoping that the judicious application of half-price sushi at the neighborhood restaurant will combat the hangover. (I know; who craves raw fish when they're hungover? I cannot explain it.)
