What a Mess! Carla, what a mess! Your shorts, pants, skirts, and blouses are all mixed together. Yeah, I can never find what I need. First, put all your clothing in a big pile on the floor. Shoes and underwear, too? Yes, and boots and purses-everything. OK, what's next? Get rid of everything like these ugly gloves and scarf... Hey, my grandmother knitted those! Oh, sorry-keep them.

But we'll keep your raincoat and swimsuits, and... Now you know where everything is! Thanks! I learned this from Marie Kondo's book. It's in here somewhere...
