OK, it was just one bag. But still: it’s a start, right?

I am heading up to North Carolina in about a week and will be taking care of a few odds and ends while I’m there. My wife and I talked about trying to pack up a few things to bring with me on this trip, to help make the big move a little less big. So I started today, with my “winter clothes.”

I wouldn’t say I have a seasonal wardrobe or anything, but I do have quite a pile of sweaters and sweatshirts. I shed quite a few back in January, but I still have probably more than I need.

I tried to fit all of them, along with a couple of heavy, long sleeve jerseys, into a single duffle bag…. and failed. Which was a good thing, really: it gave me an opportunity to shed a few more until I could get the bag zipped shut. I’m sure there are a couple of other sweatshits kicking around the house somewhere, but for all intents and purposes, I’ve managed to get all of my “winter clothes” into a single bag.

That’s all I tackled today–though I plan to have several more bags ready by next Wednesday… maybe even a couple of boxes of books!
