The Freelance Retort: Details Matter...obviously

The Freelance Retort by Brian Moloney

Details matter.

At least some of them.

Not all….

Especially during the holidays.

No that the time of year matters.

It doesn’t...but I felt obligated to tie the holidays in...you know...in order to keep the festive feel flowing.

So..as I was saying....

Details matter.

At least some of them.

Not all….

Like, what side of the top sheet is up and which is down.

Details….

Technically, the top should go on top…face up as it were.

But a lot of people—I won’t say who—say the top side of the top sheet, should face down.

So the person in the bed—I won’t say who—can enjoy the top side of the top sheet from inside the covers.

Which, in a way, makes sense…I suppose…in way that driveways and parkways make sense.

The exception would be in the summer, when a blanket isn’t needed, then you might want the top side of the top sheet to actually face up…so it can be seen by anyone standing outside your bed…you know, in case you have an intruder in your bedroom, in the middle of the night.

Things like what end of the comforter goes at the head of the bed matter too…apparently.

Don’t want your comforter to be upside down.

No comfort in that.

I don’t think it keeps the heat in as well.

Of course that’s noting when it comes to linens and things…the actual linens and things, not the now defunct store.

Towels need to be folded correctly…I mean why would you fold them incorrectly…even if you could tell.

Then they need to be stored, also correctly, in rotating order, folded side out.

Obviously….

Even I know that…now.

I wasn’t even sure there was un-folded side.

But now I know there is…

It’s on the other side…from the folded side

Same goes for sheets and wash cloths.

You getting all this?

Don’t be afraid to take notes.

But neat, organized notes…with assigned categories and columns.

You should see my dresser drawers.

A thing of beauty.

Underwear gets rolled…not folded.

They stay much neater that way and make a better presentation…you know, in case the intruder who is standing over your bed in the middle of the night, decides to take a peek.

There’s nothing too special or detailed about storing my socks, other than….
