Today I did laundry and was hanging up my shirts. Now, this time I had left laundry longer than usual so I was literally washing EVERYTHING.
As I'm hanging things up, I'm trying to space things out a bit in order to allow things to dry reasonably quickly (Dress shirts and pants get hung up wet. This saves both drying costs and, more importantly, ironing.) but I'm having trouble making room for it all.
So I'm looking at my 44" of closet space, wondering what to do, when I realize that I have ANOTHER 44" behind me, completely unoccupied. OK... dress clothes on one side, casual clothes on the other side. Lots of room now.
So why was the other side empty? I guess I was saving it for someone. Even though I've been separated for 4 years now I guess I haven't quite gotten used to it yet. The thing is, I moved into this place as a bachelor.
I guess today I realized that I'm a single man and, between the demands of business and parenthood, am likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. I might as well enjoy the extra closet space.
