At my age, 78, I find that being disorganized a treat when I'm not in a hurry. But I hardly do anything anymore to be in a hurry about.
My kitchen has to be organized. I hate having to search for an ingredient when it isn't where it belongs when I'm cooking or baking. To maintain order, if someone is over and decides to help themselves to something in the kitchen, I shout at them, "Stay out of my kitchen!" So, in that respect, No is a good option.
My walk in closet is a disaster. I always have to dig for what I'm looking for. I choose not to get mad at myself. As a retired elderly gentleman I have all the time in the world to dig in my closet... unless I'm cooking or baking.
Living alone is something I never got to experience. I find it to be calming since I can do what I want when I want and no one will be in the way.
Thanks for being yourself, Jo. I never take the time to look up reasons for my behavior. It never occurred to me to do so. I had my older brother to do that for me and I always disagreed.
I'm me and that's all there is to it.
I've missed conversations with you. However, the joy of being on Substack is exactly where I wish to be. So far my posts have gotten very little attention. But when I comment on the posts of others I do receive a lot of Likes, so I take that to mean that my brain hasn't rotted yet like Donald Trump's has. He's a horrible threat to America and many of us are already planning to move elsewhere if he steals this election from Kamala Harris.
Being yourself is so important. I now have the image of you baking. Your brain has not rotted in anyway. I loved your latest post. Commenting on notes is a good place to get active.
I think Biden was right to stand down. I don’t know enough about Kamala Harris to comment but so far so good. Do Trump supporters realise he’ll be the older than Biden in 2028?
Nonsensical is not a word I would use to describe your post, Jo. It made perfect sense to me.
I have such a split personality when it comes to being organized. If I had the time, money, resources, I would have that color coordination in every closet, but I don't, so I am haphazardly organized.
A few years ago, I asked a few friends to name a few of my strengths. Every single one said I was organized. If only they could see my desk and work area!
I've gotten into the habit of following my organizational whims. Sometimes, I just feel like organizing a shelf or cupboard. It always feels so good to toss and sort and benefit from the end results. Sometimes, though, I bite off more than I can chew. I had put all the canned goods on a table in the living room so I could check dates and divert some to emergency food supplies (earthquake country, we need to have a stash). I had a strong start . . .
I can recognise a lot of me in what you say Sheryl. I know about biting off a bit more than I can chew in clearing. It more often than not gets worse before it gets better xxx

What do you think of her? I give her an A+.
