I started gathering pots 'n pans, lids, baking dishes, and cookware to sit on the portable table. I have more than I imagined. Now to cook up a large order of organization and rethink where to go with these nice things I have.
The floor to ceiling cabinet which my hubby built a few years back has gone from storing overflow daily dishes to small appliances. Now, I think for the time being, I will fill the cabinet with ALL the pots 'n pans, etc. The small bottom cabinet to the right of the stove will house the small appliances that I frequently use like the toaster, Ninja blender, crock pot, air fryer. This may change as I am morphing the KITCHEN as I go.
The overflow of small appliances will be boxed up, marked and stacked in the Utility room for now. Pictures as I go for NOTEBOOK. A cabinet will be built later in the UTILITY ROOM for storage. This is a morphing kind of lifestyle. I guess I have to stay flexible and see where this goes. I know my KITCHEN is tiny and I have to figure this out as I go.
How can something so simple be so exhausting to think about? Problem is, it's like trying to fit a 400# woman in a size two dress. It just doesn't work. Go on a strict diet or wear much larger clothing.
On my second cup of hot tea this afternoon taking a break while I figure this thing out. I have plans of going through the tubs on the porch to inventory the CHRISTMAS GREENERY so it can be stored in the cellar and I know what I have for decorating. Having it written down with pictures will HELP me each future season.
More tubs need to go the cellar today. This is taking way longer than it should. Between medical appointments, meals, naps, social interaction with family and friends, errands...I'm running way behind on having all the tubs out of the storage shed and refilling the shed with the overflow of COTTAGE things. It's like a three ring circus around here and I'm the monkey that doesn't know where to go. Eating peanuts and a banana might help.
STAY WITH ME and watch me morph into a functioning COTTAGE DWELLER,

update:
Successfully I went through the HOLIDAY tubs on the porch with all the HOLIDAY garland and greenery,
wrote down inventory,
will type up list,
took pics,
will print off for a notebook.
Tubs to cellar!
While I was doing this, Hubby finished clearing out the storage shed and took the rest of the HOLIDAY tubs to cellar. Mission accomplished! Storage shed is now ready to hold the overflow of COTTAGE things until we can spend more time sorting through the boxes.
Kitchen portable table cleared and turned.
Pots 'n pans placed on table.
THIS WEEK I have two very important medical appointments out of town to go to.
One for Cataracts and one for pre-cancerous spot on eye lid.
When I can, this week will be dedicated to getting the KITCHEN ORGANIZED for a functioning home.
Christmas cards worked on.
Shall see how it all goes.
THE KITCHEN may take longer than this week to complete. If so, I will stay the course until it is finished.
OUR MOVING IN HAS BEEN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING as the floor space is crowded with boxes and the need to put things away is still there. It sounds so simple and yet it isn't because the COTTAGE is tiny and every square inch of space has to be use very wisely. Things have to be stored just so so.
ALREADY THE 13th of December. Sigh. Be of good cheer, things could be worse.
