WHoo hooo! My son did a load of laundry tonight! He looked at his supply of clothes based upon the thing he runs out of soonest (shirts), and washed dark stuff. He said he needed dark shirts, so I told him to do all of the dark laundry, including checking the pockets. Now it's all in the dryer.

I have a closet that is a mess; I know you all know what kind of challenge this is. This is the one in my office and has a mix of camping gear, scholarly research papers, and holiday ornament storage, along with some extra day packs, cloth shopping bags and rolling soft luggage. Shelves on two sides are built in, and there is a heavy-duty wire storage rack on the back wall. I have a plug built into this space and had a counter-height shelf put in so I can put my photocopier or other equipment there.

I brought in the step ladder and rearranged some of boxes (with holiday decorations) stored on upper shelves, and repacked some of the ornaments that were used this year. I still have to bring in the outdoor lights, but most of the rest of it is up and out of the way. I'll see if there is anything else I can store on those shelves while I'm at it.

I have a cuppa hot herbal tea now, and I think I can relax with the dogs outside tonight. Only down to about 30, so their area will be plenty warm with their heater. But in the next couple of days it will be down to 20 or lower, so they'll be back in. That 10-12 degrees makes a huge difference.
