Kitchen Update

 

Since we have not gotten another delay notice on the cabinets I took advantage of a rainy day and started cleaning out the remaining old ones. I filled two trash bags with expired junk I had accumulated just since last year's lockdown. 



Then I attacked the drawers.  I've got way too much junk. Most of this stuff needs to go. I don't even know what half of it does. 




It felt good to actually be moving forward again with the remodel but then The Mister decided he wanted to replace the screen in the sliding doors. That was a disaster. It was like a comedy of errors with us both barely able to crawl around on the floor to get the job done and then...just as we finished he cut the new screen while trying to trim off the excess and we had to start all over again. Argh.... This does not bode well for the new kitchen. There's a lot of heavy work to do and no one but us old, broken and possibly senile folks to do it. Father Time did not just tap us on the shoulder over this past year-he hit us right over the head. Ouch.

    It's so exciting to finally be able to see the light in getting your kitchen done, but I feel your pain in the getting old part. My feet and knees do not want to work properly without pain and my back is starting to spasm again for some reason. Could humidity have something to do with it? I don't know, but it needs to stay away for a few more months until after our trip. :-) Father time has NOT been friendly to me.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    I sympathize! I've aged more than a year this past 12 months. I love the idea of a good clean-out; I tackled a closet yesterday and removed 50lbs of junk! Have at it!

    I, too, notice a decline in my health after last year. Getting up from the floor is a chore for this old body, and my knees ache much more than they did before quarantine.

    I had to replace the screen on the sliding door here this spring (Thanks Relic!). There were a lot of f-bombs dropped throughout the process. I feel your pain!

    Deb, we have to replace a sliding door screen too. Hints? Mistakes you made that you could help me learn from?

    WE are all getting older! Good thing you finally got the screen repaired! That is a project!

    I think Father Time whacked us all a good one last year. Good luck with the clean out before the cabinets arrive.
