Cleaning today, in preparation for moving upstairs.*

I have too many socks. Or, rather, I have socks and not enough room for them.

I'm sending the majority of my crocheted socks to Goodwill. I make better socks via knitting now and the crocheted ones are bulky and clumsy and don't fit right. Also, I made many of them with yarn that felts really easily and I have to hand wash them and it's irritating.

Still, it's difficult, because I made them. I'm keeping the knee socks, though, and the red-and-yellow Flash socks, so that's something.





*When Granny comes back in November, we're switching rooms. Being on the ground floor will be easier for her.

Things I found in my closet:

- A stuff paper rainbow fish that my sister made in elementary school. She is entering grad school this year.

- A fairly grippable stick that I had sharpened for no reason I recall.

- A toy dagger that I remember spending several days carefully constructing out of popsicle sticks as a child. I almost don't want to throw it away. What if I need a popsicle stick dagger someday?

- About 25 PEZ dispensers. It's possible that my PEZ collection is a little out of hand. Maybe I should put a shelf in the new room to display them all.
