After feeling like crap for months with this "flu-monia" turned "broncho-cough" thing, I had a couple of good days. I was so excited to feel well that I decided to clean out and reorganize my kitchen pantries.
Oh boy.
That was such a great idea in my head. And so dang doable! In my head, I would take everything out, one cabinet at a time, make a giveaway throwaway pile, and reorganize what was left. My goal? To be able to reach into a pantry and get what I need when I need it without having to hunt around for it.
Yeah. Right.
What happened was... this:
this is the best-looking part of the mess. The BEST, people. |
can't make coffee, cook or even toast bread |
The problem is, I had that great idea and instead of starting small, my mania kicked in. The result is that on Day 2 of the project, I am drinking instant coffee for energy and eating cereal or popcorn for meals. I have no other choices. All my appliances are sitting on the floor (while I scrub down the counters) and I still don't know how I want to arrange them when I'm ready.
That was the Bad Thing. The Good Thing is that I feel great about the pantry I have finished. And I was out of bed and moving around almost all day for the first time in ages. The other not-good thing is that, the more I clean, the more I want to clean and change around. ~sigh~
I would be panicked but why should I be? I live alone. I don't have to explain the temporary mess to anyone except the UPS man when he delivers my meds and toiletries in a couple of days. Maybe I will be done by then. It could happen.
I was going to go on and on about what I found in the cabinets but, I really better get back to it. Besides, I can't even begin to explain some of the crap I found... But I am thankful to feel good for as long as this lasts. Pray for me, people, pray for me! LOL
Peace
