Crapaholic

The latest working theory to explain my chronic lateness has to do with my shit being strewn all over the house, further hidden by being divided without rhyme or reason among no less than ten bags … i.e., purses, knapsacks, totes, etc. I reasoned that if I could consolidate all the shit and find a convenient way to transfer what’s needed from said shit, varying of course with the season/occasion/mood, from bag to bag, I might have a fighting chance at getting someplace on time. It’s too soon to report on the success of my plan. I did, however, document—for your viewing pleasure—all of the various items that were floating around in my bags. My first attempt at documentation didn’t quite capture the magnitude of crap:

So I separated the crap into groups.
