Recently I’ve been thinking about organization and whether I’m good at it, or not. It’s a complicated question. When I was young it was clear and simple, I was. But now, even my closet is out of control. There are so many decisions about arrangement. Each season I see additional possibilities, so I keep changing the rules. I think it might be evolving to clothes that I wear, and clothes that I don’t. The problem, I think, is that there is just too much stuff that comes into my house that I don’t know what to do with. There are just so many things undefined. You, for example. In which envelope should I file you?
