I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK'S COOLER WEATHER. It can't come soon enough. We're old and have to baby ourselves when spending time outside. Pampering gone wild.
Slow down actions and exposure to the HEAT. Slow it way down.
Hubby's going the mow our yard and has already made a plan to mow the yard in sections so he isn't in the heat for long. I'm concerned for his health. Avoiding a HEAT STROKE. Our lawn boy is now back in school and can't mow. Our sweet daughter has mowed a few times for us, but she has her hands full with other matters. Hubby becomes the physical caretaker.
I think we ought to get a robot lawn mower to mow. grins. I saw one of these in action the other day and thought that's the ticket.
When he gets done and cools off, we'll go to the storage unit to empty the storage tubs that are in the PT Cruiser. We have to do things in stages. Tis too HOT to do each project all at once. Staging in phases is one way of doing the stuff that needs done as the sole proprietors of this estate. While he's outside, I will be organizing the Kitchen cabinet to the left of the stove. It needs serious attention as it is crammed full of this and that.
Oh to have a certified organizer do this task is tempting. I could pamper myself really easily. hummm. Just watch videos about getting organized or read some manuals, right? Unhuh. It's not the end of the world...tis a simple thing to want and need to function effortlessly.
I'm trying to make room for a place to store, meds, vitamins and minerals. It's not going well. Presently the supplements are in a medium size box and elsewhere in the pantry. I emptied the Kitchen cabinet and stopped, standing there scratching my head how am I going to make it all fit into this tiny space? Baking ingredients and cooking items are there. No room for supplements at all. We have a shelf above the stove that I may take the neat things on there and place things like salt and pepper shakers, cinnamon sugar mix, baking soda and powder, chocolate powder on the shelf. The larger mason jars of baking and cooking ingredients will stay in the cabinet?
The story of my life when it comes to making things work. Each place we have lived has been so different from one another. What worked for one location may not worked for another. Seldom does.
Taking ownership of the Kitchen is needed to make this small HOME work for us. Something that sounds so easy to some, but isn't for me. It's difficult to make this happen. Doable, but difficult as I want strict order like Martha Stewart or Marie Condo TIDY, if you know what I mean. My HOME is well lived in and not a museum. Perhaps if I visited a KITCHEN MUSEUM it would benefit my efforts. I can research on the computer to get ideas how to create a sweet KITCHEN from little of nothing.
Why am I making this so difficult? sigh. I need it done, so make it happen. Right? Shuffle and morph along, sweetheart.

I thought about it and stared at the shelf above the stove as I was thinking about it. The if's went wild. Clearing the shelf above the stove, I measured to see if the tall MASON JARS filled with cinnamon sticks, powdered milk, oatmeal, etc. pertaining to baking that I own, would fit in that space. Whalaah, they did. The inside of the cabinet has space now for meds. The tall jars fit snugly on the shelf. Looks good to me. Orderly and easy to get to! Wow. I am making HOMEMAKER PROGRESS in a tiny COTTAGE KITCHEN. I'll go with the flow.
Now to find places for all the little items that were crammed in the cabinet.
