Have spent the last hour standing and folding the second half of almost every item of clothing I own (I did the first half last night). I'm attempting to spend the next few months downsizing my possessions before I move, and the obvious place to start was the clothing, since I no longer fit a lot of it.

I stacked everything that was too big (plus a few things that fit that I never wear) on the loveseat in my bedroom, and it completely fills it. :D There's a few more items that are in the dryer right now, since giving dirty clothing to Goodwill is just tacky, but sooon I will have a wardrobe filled with only items of clothing that I actually wear. Mostly. There are a few sentimental shirts that I never wear that I'm keeping - T-shirts that commemorate something, and my bootleg Hot Topic Vash the Stampede and Himura Kenshin shirts. XD

In other news, I had a low-grade migraine all day which is turning out, now that I've taken Relpax, to be one of those that aren't affected by it. :P It's not bad, it's just there and is one of those where the chronic disorganization, exhaustion, and stupidity* are worse than the pain.

I think I shall pop some popcorn, drench it in the really good French butter, then take a Vicoden and crawl into bed. The Vicoden won't do anything for the pain, but I know it'll make me sleepier, which can only be good at this point.

* No kidding. One possible symptom of migraines is a reduction in your intellectual ability. No one would call me stupid with a migraine, but I can tell that my thought processes are slower and I'm not really able to think as deeply as I usually can.

Where are you going to move to?

Closer to work. :) That's all I kow so far - I figure in the spring I'll engage one of the real estate people near campus and look for a house. It'll be rental - I don't want to put myself into debt again until after I pay off the car and student loans - but I'm hoping for a house rather than an apartment because I'm tired of dealing with neighbors.

Sometime withing the last week, I was reading that clothing falls under the pareto principle: 20% of clothes are worn 80% of the time. I thought it was interesting, but don't remember where I read it.

I am not at all surprised. I tend to wear, like, four shirts in rotation.

If your clothes are in good shape I know a great plus size resale shop that you might be able to sale them. You won't make a lot of cash but you will make something at least. Just a thought.

Most of them are pretty good - I'd have to check carefully for stealth stains and missing buttons, but I think the majority are fine. That might be a good option. :D

I always feel like I'm trying to think through molasses.
