... a good de-stuffing or clutter control ...

I'm stuck.  My neck is covered in every necklace I own, my ears weighted with too many earrings.  I am up to my neck in piles of dirty laundry, photographs, paintings, candles, books, memorabilia, kitchenware trying desperately to reach relief.

It's like doing the running man in wet cement.

Now Doc, what does this all mean?  

After having this nightmare, I usually go straight to my closet upon waking and begin scrutinizing each item within.  I start this endeavor with every intention of bringing at least half to Goodwill.  

Oh.. but what about this?  
             Remember that?  
                   I can't part with this one!  

And before you know it, I've decided to donate two tops and one pair of shoes that never fit in the first place.  I bag them up, put them by the door and a week later, when I still haven't made it to the donation center, I change my mind about the tops and hang them back up in a closet full of clothes that hardly ever make it out.  

It's like a prison.  For clothing.  Free the Apparel!

Unfortunately, clothes are just the beginning of my clutter problems, but slowly, very slowly, I'm getting better.  

For instance, there has been a Goodwill pile by the door for months now that I haven't gone back into.

Although... 

                now that I think about it...
