The Armageddon Closet, Reimagined

I’m finding my focus moving evermore inward. Still keeping track of happenings, through what I consider reliable sources, but in a mostly passive way.

Emulating the idealized 1950s middle-class American housewife, I’m happiest while making home and family comfortable, secure, and last but not least, prettied up. Purchasing a few trinkets. Doing a spot of redecorating inside, filling pots with flowers on the patio. All mundane actions, yet satisfying on multiple levels. Flowers make my soul sing.

Part of this house-and-garden puttering is my perpetual organizing and decluttering. Looking through closets that need attention, I realized that the extra food I’ve “temporarily” stocked up on has settled into permanent residency.

But I launched the Armageddon closet in a slapdash fashion, motivated by what became two years of almost perpetual lockdowns and continuous fear-mongering about food shortages. It’s never been well organized. The supplies took up space on an inconvenient lower shelf that was hard to get to.+++
