Had a bit of an unnecessary internal struggle today. Last week I saw an advertisement about a coat drive by Huntington Bank that ends on January 9. I was sure the bank would actually be closed on Sunday, so I thought today had to be the day. But as I looked through the possibilities, I couldn't decide what to give away. I narrowed the choice down to two coats: an expensive (relatively) Jones New York coat that I never wear, but somehow still feel an attachment to, and a really ugly, giant (but incredibly comfortable) black coat that looks like a rug that I bought at Meijers a few years back. It probably makes me look like a fuzzy trash bag.
I wish now that I had been able to give away one or both instead of just waffling back and forth. Instead, I purchased a brand new pink coat for a little girl at Walmart. It was on sale--only $10. I tried to drop it off at Huntington, but didn't make it to the bank before they closed at 1:00. Luckily, I made it to the Goodwill drop off that is near my home. Giving away the coat was incredibly easy. I hope to visit the Goodwill drop off more often, and I hope to stop having so much ridiculous consternation about giving away items I probably won't even wear this season.
