This morning, I woke up around 10 am and had nothing on the docket. Should I go out? Should I clean my apartment? What would be the best way to spend my time? So many ways to spend the day, and I spent it watching videos on many subjects. Even as I write this entry, I have a historical video on TV, covering the history of the A-Bomb and how our government managed its propaganda during WW2.
The clothes horse side of me wanted to see what dresses I could buy. Did I need them? No. Yet, I can see how my late wife got addicted to buying clothes she didn't need. So I always try to ask myself: Does the new garment add something useful to my wardrobe? Usually, the answer is 'no.' But, last week, the answer was 'yes' , when I placed an order for a pair of brown leggings that I'd be wearing with a light brown sweater dress.
I eventually got moving around noon, and moved into the living room. 6 hours later, I finally did something useful and deals with two suitcases. The first, a 28" bag, contained most of what I carried with me on our January cruise. The second, a 24" bag, contained some items from my female winter wardrobe that I planned on wearing last weekend when at RQS's house. Even though nothing was removed from either bag (I actually added underwear and socks for my next cruise in the 28" bag), I placed both bags to the corner of the room where I previously stored empty suitcases, making space in the living room.
Was it a wasted day? To a degree, yes. But I will be busy over the next week or so, and I don't want to be overwhelmed before then.
