Packing It Up NEATLY – Not Happening
From hemorrhoids to home insurance quotes, we cover the gamut here, don’t we?
Today’s subject is organization. I can’t get organized to save my life, except when it comes to work. Why is that? Why can I arrange my work in a very neat and orderly way, but I can’t find my grandmother’s recipe for pigs in the blanket? Or figure out where I left the hammer? It’s so weird how the brain operates.
There’s a move in my near future, and when I think of it I break out in a cold sweat. No matter how many times I’ve moved and how much I swear the next time I’m going to be more organized, it never ends up that way. I usually end up chucking stuff hither and yon, and then wonder when it comes to unpacking it all I can’t find a damned thing I need.
I’ve read (and written!) articles on how to label boxes, make lists, and pack things neatly, but I just can’t seem to pull that off. The kitchen stuff is jumbled with books; clothes are packed with the bathroom stuff; pictures are included with shoes in the same box. Go figure.
I need an intervention. Gah.
