So I did go to bed early last night, but I was up this morning at 5 am and went to Kroger pretty much as soon as I dressed, beat my hair down into submission, and brushed my teeth. My objective: to get things to further organise the house. Success! I now have two of those small folding bookshelves that fit together into one tall one for the kitchen, so I can move things from the kitchen island (such as cookbooks and various storage containers) and actually use the thing. I got a new trash can (my old one was sad). I got some closet hangers after about three associates helped me, mainly for drying purposes with the hand-washables. I got a second drying rack (this one can hold many clothes on hangers). I found a hanging shoe organiser that will fit in the closet (for someone who used to own about three pairs of shoes--athletic, dress, and sandals, I now have quite a few. Not a huge amount, but enough that this will help.) I threw some air freshener, soda, and coconut fruit bars into the mix and then got out of there while I still had some money. But the most expensive item, the shelves, were only $42, less than they were when I got so many in the spring. And my fuel points just went up.
So now it's 6 and I'm going to take just a bit of a break before actually putting all this in action. Here's the plan for this morning:
Rearrange the kitchen with the new shelves
Do dishes
Clean cabinets and stove
Clean out refrigerator
Set up new trash can
Sweep and mop kitchen
Straighten up computer area
Straighten up dining table
Go through mail
Water plants inside and out
Repot the ailing umbrella plant
Take out trash and recyclables
Do a once-over in bathroom
Return books to the library [Tuesday, actually]
Get quarters for laundry
Later in the day:
Take a friend to the grocery
Invite friends over
Do laundry [Tuesday and Wednesday]
Do the game notes
So, busy, busy, busy, which is why I got up so very early. Wish me luck!
