MY INTEREST IN BEING ULTRA ORGANIZED became a interest of mine during C O V I D when I was isolated in the house. Wondering what was going on in the world and staying away from daily practices of being out and about made time to stay indoors at HOME using the internet more than ever before. AND THE VIDEOS WERE A PLENTY.
GATHERING ORGANIZATIONAL IDEAS kept my attention long enough making me be envious of how so many were experts at this task of taking untidy clutter and turning it into WHAHLAH beautiful. Where did I go wrong with being organized that had no pazazz? There was NO take your breath away moment that made me about fall down because I lost my balance saying, "WOW. LOOK AT THAT!!!"
My organization in the fridge and pantry lacked that ah hah moment. Cleanliness should be a priority along with easy access. Did I have that in the cabinets, pantry and fridge? Somewhat, but not to the place I was seeing on videos. Where was that saying that not all that glitters is gold? What happened to not everything you see is real? Truthfully, who can keep their fridge looking like what I was seeing when others get into it and have their messy way that's not as concerned of order than I, the main housekeeper? Some of these video results look as if no one lives to tell the truth about this being a functioning HOME.
Still I gathered organizational ideas and tried to incorporate it into my HOME. Take it all with a grain of salt. We do not see behind the scenes of these gurus that make these videos. Where is the CZAR? Do they have a life with family members that occasionally have jelly on their fingers while getting into the cabinet looking for Cheetos to munch on?
Constant clean-up on aisle one. Calling all custodians to the rescue. You are about to have an accident. I'm 68 and last night as I was eyeballing the two stacked boxes of greens in one area of the fridge moving them to the upper level of the shelving...the lid fall off of one of the containers that was upside down to preserve the greens in the box dumping the contents of green slime in the fridge interior, onto the door and onto the floor. Me, the one that wants order inside and out of the fridge MADE A HECK OF A MESS. Reality check. Messes happen. This was a green mess and a half.
Where's the ladies of these videos when this sort of chaos takes place in my Kitchen??? They are off in their corner of the world making more videos to entertain others and making some money while doing that. Clean-up on aisle one will be at my own expense. Thank you very much.
AS C O V I D raged on, I continued to watch how to organize my home. Great ideas out there and I do not regret taking the time to get better informed about just how others are doing this magic in the real world. How to use the space one has to the most efficient manner possible was a winner. Different techniques of folding towels and clothing advanced a notch in my think tank.
C O V I D was a very controversial time with what was going on. Still many argue about what the government/deep state were actually doing on the world theatre. Some say we were being manipulated to see just how far the masses would take instructions from the government. Others had no questions as to how serious all of this was. Mask. No mask. Vaccine. No vaccine. Closing churches. Services in the out of doors. You cannot sing to now you can sing. Businesses were closed and when hair salons opened no hair dryers were allowed to be used. Only x amount of shoppers in the stores at a time to the stores being open again for your business. Come on in. Stand 6 feet apart and don't shake hands. Wear your mask. Don't breath on me.
Curbside service was a hit. Ordering things on line was all the rage.
Weird times. C O V I D was advancing in the United States. In February of 2020 we had gone to Oklahoma for a family visit before the orders to stay home were placed. Driving back from Oklahoma after hearing the term social distancing for the first time in my life with a toilet paper shortage starting, the small towns we went through appeared to be like ghost towns.
We settled in and waited out what the next move would be.
I had moments where I was alone in the Living room very upset with what was going on in the world health wise. The isolation bothered me and made me sad. SO many reported as dying. People were dying left and right. Morgues were full and could not handle the funerals. The Hospitals were full and people were turned away. Debates about what to do. Our President's vanity got in the way as his bronzer rubbed off on the mask looking unattractive so he did not honor wearing masks.
My Brother and Sister-in-law both had the two vaccines then the two boosters. C O V I D got them. The same with my elderly mother. My Mom got it. My Sister and Brother-in-law took the jabs and boosters still got C O V I D. My vaccinated brother got C O V I D. My Son who had the jabs got it. Hubby and I did not have the 2 boosters and we got a milder case of C O V I D.
After we took the two jabs in March and April 2021, eight months later we both had serious eye issues. My left eye hemorrhaged twice in December and my Husband developed PVD requiring emergency surgery. Then we got C O V I D in July of 2022. What's up with that?
B I L L G A T E S and his early comments about vaccines for population control comes to mind. What exactly is in these vaccines that have not been thoroughly tested? What is in the vaccines that was deliberately placed in them to do harm to people of all walks of LIFE? What has been placed in the vaccines for ethnic cleansing? Killing more people of certain races and age groups. Killing the older generation comes to mind. Birth control due to sterility for the younger generation comes to mind. Making people sick with radio frequencies comes to mind. Ethnic cleansing comes to mind. Creating cancers that alter quality of health comes to mind. Falling over dead comes to mind. New world order comes to mind. Depopulation so the elitist rule and reign comes to mind. The future forecast comes to mind. I still have a mind for such a time as this.
THROUGH THE YEARS, v a c c i n e s have helped so many. Hubby was bit on the top of the head by a bat and I cannot imagine him NOT taking the vaccine to fight rabies. We took the polio vaccine as children. When we were children we did not have to be concerned about what all was in the vaccine. No baby parts. No nanoparticles. Through time, things have changed and I know the contents should be monitored. ETHICAL vaccines do exist, but are not promoted by mainstream doctors and facilities that give vaccines. Why not? Ethical vaccines are vaccines made without the use of human fetal tissue.
Oh heavens, how did I get off being organized to vaccines? Hey, LIFE happens.
ON THE HOME FRONT: My 'ole body hurts so much, I think I could cry. Stiff and sore all over. Somewhere in here, I strained my left neck muscle. Slowly recovering. I continue to carry all those neat things out of the basement and carry to the car to unload at our COTTAGE and into storage. This morning, I did a switch and carried boxes with KITCHEN goodies. Just as heavy. Not as far though since they were already by the back door. Hubby helped.
I potted three containers of coleus. Pat myself on the back. They look beautiful. Will take them to the COTTAGE tomorrow.
I drove the Kitchen boxes over to the COTTAGE and carried them to the porch. As I lifted one of the boxes to take on into the Living room, I let out a cry. THIS IS HARD! I calmed down after I got the box inside and sat to cool off. This is a HARD MOVE for me. We're doing this thing, but it is HARD. If we had stayed at a slower speed and done this over more time, I would be moving slower, but we are aiming to be out of the house come MONDAY so I have to stay on track and be ready to be gone. All that my Hubby has lined up to do makes me weak in the knees. Striving to HIT OUR DEADLINE. Still, this is great exercise for someone like me that wants to lose weight. Cross training for free.
I did some laundry, looked through an old magazine, paid a utility bill then drove back to the main house. Hubby wanted to go to MENARDS to buy three stools for a Breakfast nook he will create this week-end so off we went. I had a GOODWILL DONATION drop to do as well. Ate supper and drove back to the main house where I promptly took a nap. Exhausted and hurting. Woke and took it easy the rest of the evening thinking about what we will need to do. Back to clearing out the basement, I think.
I still grub up on organizational videos, videos about health issues, and researching what's going on in the world to a point. Are aliens about to invade our earth? I don't think so, but I do believe that there are people who would like to fool others into believing that and will use methods to deceive.
HERE WE ARE MID WEEK. Have mercy.
