One of the most valuable things that I learned as a young adult male is that a man can never have too many a) underwear and/or b) socks...so I buy underwear and socks all the time when I have a few spare bucks. I mean, I could care less about name brands or anything like that (even though it is fairly easy to find name brands at discount prices at some stores); I just need for my underwear and socks to be clean and functional, really.
Which leaves me with a bit of another problem that you have probably already guessed...but first, allow me to tell you who we are and what we do around these parts.

I live in a building that has washer and dryer facilities so in spite of the fact that I do rather enjoy the going out to wash clothes at the laundromat (which I do sometimes even now), I wash and dry my clothes in my building ~95% of the time. And I do often anticipate get back to my apartment and folding clothes, hanging them on hangers, etc...and then I look at all the socks that I need to match and put away...
and I am too damn….impatient, lazy... something to do that part of my laundry chore.
I rationalize it with the knowledge that I always have clean socks that I have folded previously or that I have just bought...so I allow the just washed socks that have not been matched to sit sit sit and...today I am overwhelmed.
I mean...I have socks for every occasion; the colorful weird and somewhat unique socks, I can usually do fairly quickly but...right now, today, matching socks...if I were to actually do this...it might take an hour.
Maybe two hours.
I do have some perspective; I have been homeless previously and have had to carry everything that I own around with me or store it in a locker.
So I’m grateful that I have the living space to feel overwhelmed with the task of matching clean socks...but still, I mean, it needs to be done and.I’ll probably continue to put it off.
Comments below the fold.
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?
