We were in the barn today, which is storage and small lawn tractor, small machines, tools, space for bikes, etc. Dstepson was with us as we dealt with a lot that needs to be vacuumed. I brought up a "shop-vac" but dstepson thinks that would be overkill for our needs there (I really don't know - just know that word.) We decided we'll keep sweeping!

In a little bit I'm going outside to the garage in a bit - nothing great - :D

Yesterday I did a bit of dejunking - dh doesn't like it at first but is getting in the groove - I realized I'm not going to b able to get him to put things away in like areas- I thought for sure after he found some equipment that he borrowed from his d bro ten years ago that he would change his ways a bit - no ;) still love him but it's not frustrating me any more - I'm the one who has to adjust.

I had cleaned many shelves w him this week and he was there while we put car stuff w car stuff - paint w paint - but already he is cramming things into all types of empty spaces - that's how he keeps it clean 8-) - but can't find anything - that's why he has so many multiples

My decision - just go out to the garage every month and do a go through and put away before the garage overflows again :D

I de-junked more areas in garage including dhs workbench - oh my goodness that man :lol: :D

Went shopping for plants - more planning and picture taking
Looked at container for pool supplies - way too expensive - 2800$ for a cedar holder - then 119$ for a really cheap plastic one - I can do w/o it

It's supposed to rain again so so much for rototilling the garden again -

Kitchen focus ahead matey!!!

Thank goodness for my weeklies in the kitchen as its making the job much easier - even though time consuming

I washed and de-junked the pantry - cabinet left to the stove - I did some weeklies early bc Tuesday will be busy outside of the house

Things I missed last time the kitchen came around that needs focus this time:

Empty 3 season room re fridge and wash down - call repair company
Clean decorative plates
Wash walls
I should move fridge and wash behind but I won't this time
Clean stove
I did some inside cabinets but I need some more done as well

If dizziness stays away I hope to do more work in kitchen otherwise I can pretend I'm at the amusement park :D

It took me one hour to clean out my spice cabinet - refilling washing and tossing

I have a lot of spices bc we cook international dishes a lot bc it's fun to try new things - thinking of trying some African dishes - dd younger has been trying to cook Indian food - I like a bit of curry but not every day but the other dishes have been wonderful - I also want to try making middle eastern dishes too - I bought harrisa so I think I want to try an egg dish w this ingredient -

Glass and coffee cup areas are done!

Yay my round in the kitchen is done!!!
