All the energy I was putting into finding a new house (and worrying about it) is now getting redirected to improving everything about the existing house that’s even vaguely bothered me before. Such as the kitchen drawers:
The knives never had a home in the silverware drawer and the baking drawer was a “chuck it in and hope it opens again” situation. NOT ANYMORE!
The “pantry” (the cold storage in the basement) also got organized:
That also used to be a “chuck it in and hope you find it again” situation but I even broke out the label maker so it should STAY organized this time.
I feel a little manic doing all of this but, as I told Doc, “We would have had to go through it all anyway if we were moving and I’d have had to organize the new house.”
To which he said, “If you haven’t made your bed, throw it away!!”
