Unpacking

As much as I don’t like to pack, You’d think that after coming back I’d simply do things in reverse, But emptying is almost worse. The dirty stuff goes in the wash But since I overpack, well, gosh! I have to sort and put away The unworns for another day. They’re wrinkled, though, so should I wait To iron at a later date Or hang them up with crease and fold? Procrastination’s taken hold. My suitcase sits for several days And it will take a few delays Until at last I zip it closed, And order’s once again imposed.

Not unlike my laundry, I tend to fall asleep. A bag or two that I plop down just simply have to keep. Maybe I wont do anything until I get my rest. But getting at it right away you know is always best. Peace. :)
