PLAYING GROCERY STORE as a old lady was such fun on Wednesday when I was putting groceries in the PANTRY. Enjoying seeing the shelves fill up. Relieved that this is taking place.
All smiles.
I worked in the basement carrying more tubs of food up the stairs and out to the car. After I emptied the food rack, I began shuffling Christmas items to where the food was. I need to empty three muscle racks so they can be relocated to the storage shed at the cottage. I will go through the tubs to thin down some more before taking decor to the shed. The storage shed is being worked on so by the time I clear the muscle racks off, the shed should just about be finished. Can't wait to have this completed as well. Kind of like a three ring circus juggling the details making it happen.
Drove to the COTTAGE to put items away adding another haul of bottled juices and a few more canned goods. I smiled looking at the neat pantry.
This evening, I washed more Mason Jars and will take over to the pantry to fill with dried beans. Black Beans, Navy, Lima, Kidney, Pinto, some lentils and peas. Should look like I want it to after the jars are positioned on the shelf.
While resting, I went through another cardboard box full of smoked stained yellow envelopes that are full of this 'n that papers. Everything was labeled. I'll go through each envelope and see what I need to shred or place in a fresh envelope to file.
Baby announcements, wedding invites, obituaries, children's grade cards, letters, newspaper clippings, information about school activities, mercy sakes... what else? Hair trimmings from when the kids were little. Auto Insurance Policies and Insurance checks from as far back as 1986. Information about all car purchases. Will keep this folder. Maybe I should have tallied how much we have paid on auto insurance through the years. I'm guessing $50,000. This should be entertaining as I rediscover HISTORY.
AND away I go getting the papers organized to keep for awhile longer. If I can sit while shredding, its really not so bad. I have a shredder beside my comfy chair. So I have enough paper work to do to keep me in business for a few more months if I stay at it. Then I hope to be let go from this tedious job. Fire me...lay me off...have a company buy-out...please let this come to a gentle stop so I am caught up. Put this old cow out to pasture. Let this old weary Clerk advance to something else.
Approaching the week-end. Hoping to get a coat of primer on the Kitchen Cabinet that will hold small appliances. Get this done, then the real paint will go on. In a few days I could have this done and filled with the small appliances.
A Crock Pot.
Air Fryer.
Skillet.
Coffee Urn.
Waffle Maker.
Toaster.
Blender.
Grill.
Coffee Pot.
Electric Chafing Dish.
Iron.
Handheld Mixer.
When I can, I'd like to take photos of each appliance to have a notebook for inventory. Won't that be nice? Homemaker at your service.
I started jotting down what books we have. I will continue downsizing my personal Library and might as well have a notebook on that also.
Hubby continues working in our Bathroom. This is a hard job gutting out the old. Even with the Bathroom being small, it is a huge challenge. A large pile for the trash service is ready for pick up. Say bye to this mess.
Had my TSH checked. It is a tad bit high. I will increase my dose of thyroid medicine then be checked again in 6 weeks to see where it is. I knew I was a tad bit off as I was overly tired, hair tangling easier, fingernails brittle, slight weight gain, agitated, not as steady on my feet, dry skin, forgetful, foggy brained. I don't seem to stay in my happy place for very long before the numbers do an about face and I am adjusting the meds. It takes 6 to 8 weeks for the medicine to work. So much time goes into trying to balance the numbers. I'm one of T H O S E peoples. Baah Humbug.
The floors and rugs need vacuumed. Dusting isn't far behind. Always something to do. Never a dull moment. As I have been going through boxes of paperwork, I discovered my hand written notes of a book I started writing well over 20 years ago. I believe I will start editing it when I need a break from downsizing and decorating. Should be fun to reread these as the book has been on hold for so long. If I start now, I may be able to write one book a year. No pressure there.
When I think about things to do or things I wish I were doing, I need to pray about it and get my thyroid numbers where they need to be.
