Why do I do what I do?? Sometimes it is a mystery to me!! First thing, mid-morning, I started to pack the suitcase for the cruise. Unexpectedly, I went to the storage building (behind my trailer home) and began to shift “stuff” around so I could get to the hanging bags labeled “my best clothes” (packed over a year ago). Two-by-two I brought garments into the trailer. “Oh Lord, where will I put these??” The things on the clothes pole behind my bed had to be rearranged. Space was made in two small closets. Guess what?! From storage, I found “cruise wear” I had forgotten about. Now I have an “overkill” of apparel for the cruise!! Decision time: Try things on (again) and make a decision about what looks best. “No, Lorraine, you don’t need six purses, and seven pair of shoes for evening wear.” (Three pair of very attractive shoes had been stored with “cruise wear.”)

“Mixture”?? Yes, I did a few puttering jobs in the yard. But I didn’t like being in the yard–or in the storage–as cold as it is. The temperature has crept slowly up to forty-eight degrees (3:30 PM). We didn’t have freezing temperatures last night but a low of forty-five feels cold. Remember, we were still suffering from heat and humidity a month ago?! Considering the weather conditions in many states, I’ll bet a lot of folks would trade their snow and sub-zero temperatures for a comfortable forty-eight degrees.

Not much time on the computer because I haven’t had a WiFi signal. ~~ I almost went into Livingston for bird seed. Birds are flocking to my empty feeders. “Almost…” but I got side-tracked pulling garments from the storage bags and carrying them into the trailer–and trying to make room for them.  A challenge over the next few months: Decide on the most attractive clothing items and discard (donate) the rest.

It’s a dark gloomy day.
