Yesterday's photo shows my bed in the thick of my attempt to weed out the clothes I no longer wear (more on that in a minute). Today's, because I realized at the last minute I hadn't taken a picture, is the queue of books that are gathering dust while I try to finish World Without End. You can see that Anna Karenina was started and abandoned. I haven't given up on it entirely, but I think the next in line will be one of the Bill Bryson books.
My drawers and closet were unmanageably crowded, so yesterday I summoned all my motivation and dumped every single piece of clothing I own on my bed. I threw out anything that had holes or wasn't wearable, then made a pile of all the clothes I haven't worn in a year, which turned out to be about a third of what I own.
Today I took the three shopping bags full of unwanted clothes to Plato's Closet. They passed on most of it, but even so I still walked away with $71. Not bad for spring cleaning, right? I donated the leftovers to Goodwill, and am now much happier that I can navigate through my wardrobe. It also means that I have less of it to pack up when I move at the end of May.

I took tomorrow off from work and I'm trying now to decide how to spend it. I have a few errands to run, and book club in the evening, but other than that the day is mine. I should probably start making some serious effort to study for the FSOT, but really all I want to do is sit in my comfy chair and read and do crosswords and sip coffee. We'll see what time I wake up tomorrow, maybe I can do both.
