I was watching Regis and Kelly at the gym yesterday. I don’t normally watch that show, but Jeff Probst was guest hosting and I like him, so there you have it. Anyway, they were talking about packing and I think I may have found a solution to some of my packing woes:
Space bags.
You know, those bags that you put the clothes into and then vacuum out the air. Actually I saw some at Target that you just roll up to get the air out of them. No vacuum required. I will probably use those. My sister uses them to pack when they go camping and she says they work really well. Plus they seem more convenient since you don’t actually need a vacuum. Anyway, I think this will help free up some room in the duffel bags. I’m so pleased. Helpful information can come from the strangest places.
I’ve also re-purposed a Sterilite box as a staging area in my walk in closet. Of course with the box there you can’t actually walk into the closet anymore, but that’s ok. There aren’t any clothes in there anyway, just purses, shoes and some stuff that doesn’t have a home anywhere else.
So the packing saga continues, but I’m feeling a little better about things. I can actually thing about it for longer than 10 minutes now without becoming completely overwhelmed. I can easily make it to 15 minutes now.
And look, I didn’t mention baseball or racing even once.
