Towels, Band Aids and Lotions...oh my

Today's happiness comes from a newly organized linen closet. It seems impossible that towels and other bathroom odds and ends can become an unruly mess, but after ten months or so of this and that it happens. Beach towels start fraternizing with bathroom towels. Medicine baskets become cluttered, Band Aids jump from their storage boxes and lotions and gels of all sorts turn into a sordid mess.

The best way to start the reorganization process is with a clean slate. I cleared each shelf in the closet and threw all the contents on my bed. Next, I slowly combed through the contents and decided what could stay and what must go. An old sling from shoulder surgery five years ago needed to go, as did cold tablets that were way past their expiration date.

What was left went back on the shelves in an orderly fashion. Beach towels on one shelf, bath towels on another. Hopefully, everyone will stay in their assigned space for the next few months.
