I have been "retired" for a month now "officially". I have made lists and lists of things to do and have done most of them.
I have also gone through every closet and drawer in the house and organized them over and over - tightening down each time I find something that needs to be grouped with something else of it's kind. I have put cedar "flowers" on my Coats for goodness sake and put my good suits and cocktail dresses in plastic bags.
Oh, and on Sunday I color-coordinated my closet and then organized it by sleeve length, pants length, etc.
I have COLOR COORDINATED my closet. Somebody needs to save me from myself!!!
Might be time to go back to work. How am I ever gonna last till August???

Did you organize the eggs by the circumference?
Good Lord! There are support groups that you can call. lol!
Ummm..., my place could use a little help. Wanna come visit? I'll put you to work. :)
I just have to add my 2 cents. I admire you so much Mel. I struggle to be organized and I usually don't succeed. I have big plans but stuff just keeps getting in the way. I aquired most of the marital things from the divorce and I have crammed a 2 story house of "stuff" into a small appartment with my boys. On top of working more than full time and taking care of them I am constantly having issues...my latest being my broken leg..LOL. I have to laugh, it's how I hang onto sanity. I let out a loud laugh when I read this thinking....if she only knew how much I envy that organization. HUGS
You guys are hilarious.
Lance - no, I did not think of the egg thing..but now that you mention it..lol.
Marcel - I told my "shrinker" about it...he said that most likely the obsessiveness I used to put into my work has now found its way into the house....guess I must have been pretty thorough at work huh - ha ha ha!
Cheryl - o.k. I'll come out. Make it soon, I can't stay retired forever - I will run out of drawers!!
Karen - You are too cute. This type of thing comes in stages...I, like you went from a large home with my husband to a two bedroom apartment. I gave him all all the furniture and started over - I did not want to walk into a mini-version of my old home as I knew it would be too hard on me. I think I took my linens and my All-clad stainless steel and my clothes and personal family items. I gave him the rest. He needed it more than I. It was also less clutter ;-)
