Cleaning out my drawers and closets

At the best of times this is not an easy task for anyone, sight or no sight. But for a blind person like me, it is tedious, time consuming, and sometimes a bit nerve-wracking. It is tedious for me as a blind person because I have to make sure that I have everything in order. That I know where everything is placed, where they have been taken out from, and where I am going to place them when reorganizing and repacking.

It is time-consuming for me because I need to be extra careful. Why? So that I do not mix up things. That I make sure that things are organized according to color, size, and how I want to wear them. Experience has taught me that one tiny slip and that's it! Everything will go haywire and I'll have to ask for sighted help and start all over again. Nerve-wracking because I know that one mistake and it is back to the beginning. So there you have it and there is
my challenge for the day.
