Can a woman have too many clothes? In my case, yes.
Kelli has a large closet in our bedroom that is never empty, she has one in the hallway, and part of mine outside the bathroom.
Now she has inched her way into the bathroom by hanging garments on the shower rail. I have to move them each time I have a shower, and put them back, in the same order, when I gave finished.
Even with all the trips to Plato’s to sell stuff, nothing ever looks emptier.
Often when new stuff comes in the mail, it stays for a day, gets resold, then gets shipped out again. It’s an ebb and flow of clothing.
I had my coffee session with Henry, originally I was supposed to drive to his house and see how the rooms I worked on turned out, but his wife needed to tidy the place after their family stayed for Christmas. I said I understood, the same happens with me when there is a chance that we get visitors. I think it’s just the women that notice these small details, I live in a constant state of oblivion, I notice very little.
It was a fun time, although he is eighty, he is still articulate and creative, he knows his limitations and sticks to them, whereas I don’t, that might be my downfall, but I don’t care, I’m having fun.
Talking of fun, Winnie is all over the place, she is desperately trying to be friends with Phoebe. There is a lot of jumping, yapping and snarling, no blood yet, it will take time.
I don’t think Phoebe understands that she is expected to be the Alpha, but sometimes they both show each other their tummies, a sure sign of subservience, so we have confused animals.
