i have purged three garbage bags of clothes so far today [View all]

the nice stuff goes to the safe house as i'm sure they can use interview clothes, the regular stuff goes to the thrift store and the ratty shit will be dropped off for recycling.

i am boggled by how much clothing i have accumulated.
