Bag Lady


Over the last several weeks I've tried to carry home a few bags of donations from work each day. New York's subway system isn't the friendliest place for a person schlepping things to and fro, especially the N train at rush hour. So, I've tried to space it out with one or two small bags.

Fortunately though, over the weekend everyone remembered my deadline for bringing in things so I can ship everything out in time (today!) and brought in bags and bags of clothes and sheets. I'm thrilled because some of the new donations included baby and kids clothes, which I had been painfully low on.

Only problem? Now I have to bring home 2 bags of clothing and sheets, a box of bedding, and pick up all the cricket gear! I have no idea how I'm going to carry all this home, but suddenly I'm very glad that I brought my grocery cart to work. I initially brought it in for the cricket gear, (shout-out to Adam and his cricket team for the donation!) but now I think it will be stuffed to the gills with clothing too!


Edit: In the end the box of bedding didn't arrive yesterday - which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I really could not have carried one more thing with me... Check out the picture - that was everything I carried home!
