pointless pajamas

Being comfortable makes for a good nights sleep. Usually. I seemed quite happy in my newest set of cropped pant and short sleeved cotton jammies last night, until my arms were chilly. Cover up with a light blanket, then my legs were too hot. Uncover them, keep my arms covered, and go back to sleep. Or so I thought. Midnight, one o'clock, two o'clock and lots of covering and uncovering. Sigh.

One entire drawer of my dresser is full of pajamas. Which set will help me go to sleep? Tonight I will try another pair and hope for the best.

I think many people have a whole drawer of jammies. There are the favorites which can't be donated because they are nearly worn out---and actually, when are pajamas really worn out? They seem to get better with every wash. The new ones that aren't quite into the rotation, and the impractical. Who sleeps in a slip-type gown besides actors? Talk about your cold arms!

Even though I've been sifting through my clothes for weeks, I still feel I have too much. Too much that does not go together, or feel right like the right size. How much is enough? Too little? And the shoe issue---ouch! If there is a shoe that only goes with one outfit, is it worthy to remain in my limited space? Let me just say YES! and that goes for handbags as well.

I'm keeping all my stuff.

Quote from Bette Midler;

"There comes a time when you have to let your clothes go out into the world and try to make it on their own."


Okay, maybe I'll take another look...
