Less freaked out
Okay, I've calmed down. I promise.
Yesterday I cleaned out my closet 'til it hurt. And then I tried to take the stuff to someone who needed it, all crazy driving to Georgia Tech. Problem is, the Red Cross didn't want them and suggested taking the bags to the Salvation Army, to which I was all hell to the no -- I know who'd get them at the Salvation Army: someone like ME.
If I gave up my good stuff, it was going to hurricane victims. Dang. So the bags are in my car. Yell if someone knows any Katrina victims who need:
women's clothing, size 6-8
women's clothing, size 10
women's clothing, size 11-14
(shut-up)
bags/wallets
shoes size 10
toiletries
It is frustrating to hear people asking for help and being given no instruction to do so except monetarily. Well, I have more time now than money, and I've done all I can do financially. I've signed up everywhere to do anything. Dude. It's frustrating.
Okay, must quit obsessing. Especially since I've claimed to have calmed down.
Tonight H and I have an awkward happy couple dinner date with our neighbors, who are expecting a baby any minute now. I hope she won't go into labor tonight, unless, of course, the evening is really long or something.

Give the Salvation Army a try. We find them the best of all areas to donate. If not, try calling some local churches to see if they are accepting donations. Right now most charities are requesting money to start, but clothing will be needed and you are big hearted to make efforts to donate. Don't give up.
