Confused, you say?

The confused part

I hate it when I start throwing laundry into whites and darks, and in the middle of it I forget which pile is which. I end up switching sides, and get two piles each of half whites and darks.

I kick off my shoes when I'm at work, and I have 3 pairs of black heels underneath my desk. Sometimes, when I get up to go to the washroom, I have to double back because I have mismatching shoes.

When I'm done my laundry I sort it according to the following classification: work top, work bottom; casual top, casual bottom; underwear, sports and crappy (but comfy) stuff to wear at home, and jeans. But in the morning, or whenever I'm in a hurry to get out, I dig for things and dump them into each other's compartment. Therefore they're never really classified that way.

I look for my glasses quite often, and watch, keys, pass ids, and bus passes. I'm sure there's an easier way for keeping track of these things, I just haven't found out how yet. Speaking of which, I always keep my bus passes to claim the tax credits - except when it's time to claim it, I usually only find one pile with 3 of them. The rest will show up 5-6 months later when I open random boxes that must have seemed like good places to keep bus passes.

It's an unwritten rule that I have to lose one of these things once every 2 months or so: umbrellas, sunglasses and bus pass. It goes like this: Jan-bus pass, Feb-nothing, March-umbrella, April-another umbrella, May-sunglasses, etc. I lose one of these every few days: socks, hair band, hair clip, earrings.

Alright that's five items (I'm sure there's more, I just like to stop at five because I really gotta start my chores). How about you?
