Junk Drawer

Hoarders are just people extremely dedicated to their hobby.

Every house has at least one junk drawer. I know that I make quick decisions if I can't think of where to put something that is small enough to fit in a drawer. The junk drawer is the first place it goes.

The problem is that when you need to find something in the drawer, it's nearly impossible. There is so much unorganized junk in there, good luck. I dig and dig and if I can't find what I'm looking for, I give up and look somewhere else.

Usually, it's a tool or a flashlight. Something important. Since I can't find a tool, I end up McGuivereing every thing. The problem is, it either looks really bad or falls apart, or both. Think about your junk drawer. Do you really need everything in there.

The drawer usually contains things like dead batteries, pens that are out of ink, playing cards, paper clips, all things we swear to ourselves we can't live without. Really? A paper clip? An old iPhone that is trashed, but you keep it, thinking that one day, you'll sell it on eBay.

In our junk drawer, we have two flashlights, a bic barbecue lighter, a tennis ball, a pair of mittens, three pairs of scissors an ice cream scooper, a large tape dispenser  an expired credit card, a pair of headphones, a can opener, suckers, breath mints, recipes, a screw driver (which I can never find when I need it) chapstick a greeting card, a Starbucks Christmas ornament and finally, gu, an energy source for distance runners.

Drawer hoarders? You bet. Once in a while I'll clean it out, but it happens all over again.

I'm Jerry Mabbott, and I'm a drawer hoarder. "Hello, Jerry". I'm starting to feel better already.

See you tomorrow.
