You've got lots done today, Bama -WTG!

Hi, Peaches!

My kitchen is clean and I've had a couple of hours in my garden this evening. I know 10 pm is probably too late to be gardening, but it was so nice outside, and I was doing quiet jobs so as not to disturb the neighbours.

DH has bought himself a smart watch, and is still trying to get it set up. I'm very grateful my watch is one of the old fashioned type that just tells the time. :lol:
Apparently the "new"desk for the office sill be arriving tomorrow morning, and will go in the garage to begin with, while DH does more sorting out of his stuff. I put forward my idea of what to do with the tallboy (move it into our bedroom to provide more storage there) and showed DH how I've measured and how everything will fit in. So, he's either happy with this or resigned to it. :lol:

I'm in bed now , with Matilda waiting patiently for her food night treat. See everyone tomorrow!

Things that need to happen at home before DH retires!
Reorganise office (DH wants a new to him desk that work is getting rid of. Can I empty the tallboy and move it into the bedroom? Remember to measure at its widest point to see if it will fit! Yes!
More decluttering in bedroom - drawers under the bed, my clothes (a continuous process!)
Kitchen - measure for fridge, measure where bins are going to go. Order new fridge. Move freezer to where current fridge is now? Go through cubby hole which houses miscellaneous "stuff", including the surplus from my dolls house project (this is on a pause now until the winter, but I have all the pieces I need, ... and a lot of surplus!
Get it all out and divide into lots. WIP
Do I have enough boxes and bubble wrap? I think so
Clean everything so it looks its best and photograph.
Write description and list on eBay. Remember to state we are a smoke free home.I can do most of this this one box at a time, so it isn't overwhelming .
Once the boxes are sealed and wrapped and labelled with the contents, I can store them in the garage.
Decide what is going back in cubby hole - gardening trug? Extension cable, spare boxes of cat food? Will my folding chair fit? Yes

I guess that was a decent productive day. Only thing I didn't do was Visit ddil. So ds26 ended up getting a few weeks work where he has to stay 3 hours away and home for weekend. Yuck for newlyweds with a baby but getting paid well. She apparently drove up there yesterday cause he got rained out. Wonder if she could go stay up there with him some.

And I guess I didn't get to the living room either. I told dad I was not ready for the shampooer yet so I guess that was the excuse for the vacuum. He said it would be too much to walk Casper too but I did it anyway. Guess I can work tomorrow.

Oh and then I got the mail. Ds diagnosis papers are in there. Phew too much to read and process and understand without someone to help. He's definitely on the spectrum. Gave lots of resources but most of them are out of town or online. I think I'm going to start with my in training counselor friend H. And T who is a teacher with masters in special ed. She's retired but she is a wealth of info too.

Productive day kittykat. That is a lot of reorganization to make room for a new desk and a new fridge in a week.

Did you do all that in 30 minutes Bama?
