OUCH

I decided to sort out my wardrobe this morning, it had rather a lot of things in I either don`t wear now, or cannot get into any longer, and I can`t find anything. I am quite a hoarder so I decided to be ruthless and get rid of stuff I have not worn for a year or so and have no intention realistically of wearing again. The problem is that now I have a large pile of discarded unwanted clothes on my bedroom floor and have done too much so I can`t find the energy, or the pain free movement, to be able to fold them and put them into bags. I did take one bag up and then realised it would not all fit into that one bag, but by the time I had walked downstairs to fetch it, and then slowly and painfully climbed the stairs again, I was incapable of putting much into it. I tried valiently to pop a few bits and pieces into the bag, folding them as I did in preparation to take them to a charity shop, but the pain did get the better of me in the end and I was forced to give up and leave them where they lie for now. I have to pace myself in what I do and this morning I am afraid I was too enthusiastic in my endeavours and over did it, which was my own fault. I feel better now though that my wardrobe holds fewer clothes, clothes that I can fit into and which I wear all the time, it is an achievement for me to get it sorted and it is frustrating that I am now unable to quite finish the job I started, due to my EDS hypermobility, arthritis and pain.
