Even
though we only planned to continue organizing the apartment today we
were both having breakfast before 8:00 this morning. We discussed
what else might be needing to be taken care of and priorities were
set. Once we’d given our Computers some attention in order
to find out what other RV Bloggers are up to as well as the
big names in the News we put our plans in motion.
Kathy
set about getting the Crock Pot set up to once again cook our
supper for us. It is hard to believe that we had the Fridge in
our Trailer better organized then we do here in the apartment.
Part of the problem is that this Fridge/Freezer is made deep
rather then wide. Having had one of those years ago the problem is
you tend to loose things in the back until it’s too late to eat it
as leftovers instead they find their way straight to the Trash
Can.
My
chore was to start sorting the Laundry since it has been over
a Week and a Half so we are starting to get thin on a few
things. Trying to do this among Boxes and Containers in
the living room was a learning experience.
Since
we’d had a Lite Breakfast we chose to have an early lunch.
Keeping it on the Lite Theme Kathy served us
more Italian Wedding Soup and topped it off with a Yogurt
Cup for dessert.
Kathy
continued sorting through the remaining Boxes while I headed
downstairs to the Laundry Room. I
was surprised to find most of the Washers and Dryers
only costing a Dollar per load while others cost Two
Dollars. I remember Laundromats charging
that nearly Forty Years ago. Not knowing the other residents
too well I stayed until everything was washed, dried and folded
before going back upstairs.
Kathy
had been her usual whirl wind self and had sorted through Five
Boxes. What was still in those boxes will be sold in the spring
at a Garage Sale. With those taking up space I used our
Utility Cart to load Boxes in the Car then
another load of empty Storage Bins into the Truck to
take back to our Storage Unit. Even though it’s not totally
organized just yet we can now walk around our Living/Dining Room.
Using my Headlight I was installing the Pull-Outs. |
Yesterday
we purchased some Pull-Out Drawers so we could organize our
Kitchen Cabinets because Kathy was having trouble bending
over. That meant that everything was just inside the doors and the
back Twelve Inches was completely empty. It took me a Half
Hour to empty the bottom shelf of that Cabinet, install
all three of the Pull-Outs and organize the Food Stocks
that I put back inside. There is some space between that can be used
for certain things that we don’t get a lot of but the Pull-Outs
are a definite bonus.
Now we won't loose anything at the back of the Cabinet. |
The
Crock Pot did exactly what Kathy wanted by cooking a delicious
meal of Corned Beef, Potatoes and Carrots. This
time for dessert we had Canadian
made Fruit Cake. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but what
they sell as Fruit Cake in the US
just doesn’t hold a candle to this.
After
we did the dishes Kathy headed to her Computer while I went to
work on Pill Doucettes. I know that I just did them last week
for Kathy but there weren’t enough of certain Vitamins to do
more then a week’s worth for myself. Tonight I only had to do
Thirty Eight Days worth for myself. It was hard keeping track
of everything in the middle of our move.
Tomorrow
we are forecasted to have a Heat
Wave of
45
F
(7
C)
so we might try going out for a bit.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Sorry!
My karma just ran over your dogma.
Really like those pullout drawers. Now more lost or outdated cans in the back of the bottom cupboards.
ReplyDeleteJim put pull out drawers in our fifth wheel and they were life savers. Glad you are getting settled and hopefully can rest pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent idea of installing pull out drawers. Wish I was as handy as you.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask you a question? I know your storage unit is climate controlled does that mean that in the winter they keep it heated?
Lucky for me, my house has several pull out drawers. They are a money saver, for sure. Nice you are settling in and getting organized.
ReplyDeleteI have same problem with frig. We need a pull out drawer for the refrigerator!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the cabinets, and I'm sure it is great to start seeing less boxes.
ReplyDeleteI like the pull out drawers. I have a large cabinet for food storage so it's easy to reach things but under the counter cabinets are a pain to reach. Those would be great for storage containers that keep falling into the darkestdeepest part of the cabinets
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a good job, as always. I have those drawers also and they can take a lot of weight, so you can double up on items you store there. If you make it too comfy in the apt. you'll never want to leave it ;-)
