March 31, 2025 Out like a Lamb

 In a rare turn of events, I actually have three topics this morning, but will choose only one to feature today. No one needs to be riveted here that long!

One of my charming pecodillos is the relentless need for simplicity and organization. Oh, I know you are all aware of what I'm going to say!

I won't give you the laundry list of what we are trying to accomplish pretty much all at once. This said, the demo in the kitchen was simply to make it manageable for us; the actual work and the disposal of the debris. It was not my idea to start so soon, but Randy had a need to find out just what we were dealing with behind those original, and not well-built, cabinets. He also made me promise not to complain about the upheaval. So, take this as it's intended. I really am not filing a complaint.

HOWEVER, I must admit that living out of boxes and piles is the issue. The search for the Holy Grail every time I need something. It's the disorder of the temporary setup in the dining room corner. It's knowing that I need everything in its place and it just isn't happening right now.

It's getting to me. There, I said it. 

I have all my appliances, a working sink. Even so, when I think I have it as clean as I'd like, it doesn't seem clean. Maybe it's the raw walls, and open areas. Or it's the open spaces on the floor where the laminate did not go. Or it's the "stuff" on the counter we need but still looks like clutter to me.

It's no longer my "happy place". It isn't like I can just ignore it; I've tried.

What I need to train my focus upon is knowing the result will be my dream kitchen, and that all things will come to fruition in its own time. I will cry if Randy decides to tear up the floor anytime soon, however!

Luckily, April arrives tomorrow and the possibility of being able to work outside soothes me somehow.

Thanks for listening! ☘
