Hi all. Today I'm working in the end of hall linen closet. It's 8 feet long, floor to ceiling, and about 16 inches deep, with 3 sets of doors. It's big, and I had filled it. One of the shelves (the full 8 feet) had suffered some failure in the center. Not total failure, but it needed attention. It was sagging just over an inch, and there is some damage. It's particle board ( ), so not strong to begin with. It was not designed for a hoarder. I just now braced and leveled that long piece in two locations. It seems good. I think going forward, in the very center especially, I'll store light wieght items on it, like pillows. done: -morning routine -emptied bottom of linen cabinet -found wood, and braced the long shelf Todo: -find extra pillows stashed around the house -reorganize items going into linen closet

Hi BetsyMarie and beesnest! It's been slow going for me today ta-da: Loaded the dishwasher Cat had her meds Did a little research for a knitting project that I plan to start within the next week. Not a whole lot of anything else to-do: Get the mail Clean out my car Tidy up some where Prepare for tomorrow. I plan to get an oil change and go to the feed store. maybe some other things Help DH get stuff sent to doctor if he needs help. (He's having cataract surgery next week and he needs to get all of his pre-op stuff submitted.) Later: Reprogram the chicken door closing time. Last evening when I arrived home from work, I found that the door had closed too early and the chickens were locked outside of their coop. I also want to make some other adjustments out there. Who knew that I'd ever need to plug more than 2 things in at a time in their coop? 1. Power door, 2. Night light (Is supposed to encourage them to come in at night) 3. Something to keep their water from freezing... plus I have an extension cord going to the pond for the pump...

Hello, beesnest. I'm glad you mentioned Comet. I will try that; bleach hasn't worked. The linen closet sounds like a worthwhile project, BetsyMarie. Ally I admire all the skills you use working on the chicken coop. Put away dishes. Made bed and had meds. Got dressed. Went to dentist. Went to gas station; pump delivered less than one gallon and then quit. Will get more tomorrow or Friday. Returned book to library. Dropped off donation box at Goodwill. Put away laundry from rack. Started dishes soaking. Cook some potatoes and chop up for hash browns. Put away remaining laundry.

Yes, the linen closet/cabinet is a worth while project. It will allow for more functional storage. But it is work. done: -covered the repaired shelf with paper. The cats helped. Or thought they were. -went around the house to find things better stored with similar objects in linen cabinet -organizing and putting back things in cabinet. There is still lots on the floor, but it all is getting better. todo: -relocate more items -pickup floor near linen cab. -find something to eat

Now look what you made me do... seriously I remembered that tomorrow is trash and recycling day after I got into my nightclothes. I had to get dressed and take out the box of recycling from the laundry and the kitchen trash. Up and down the steps in the rain Whooo hoo. I would have been mad at myself if I put it off so I did it. They come around 5/30 in the morning. Made a salad for dinner took out frozen food for tomorrow Cleaned the small counter.

I would have been mad at myself if I put it off so I did it. They come around 5/30 in the morning. Whoops! I had planned to get up early this morning, take the trash out, get my oil changed, and run some errands. I hadn't slept well Tuesday night, and I guess last night I made up for it. I woke up and it was already light out. I looked at posts on social media, and realized that it was snowing! I decided to postpone going out, but realized that I had forgotten all about the trash! ta-da: Slept in... I guess I needed it. Checked on chickens, gave them some scratch grains and sunflower seeds. (I gave them the last of the chicken feed last night, but it should last them most of the day.) Gave food and meds to cat Called into a CLA meeting to-do: (as weather permits) Get dressed Get trash ready to go out Finish cleaning out my car Unload the dishwasher Laundry? Get eggs ready to take to neighbor. She asked me to wait until the snow stops Go out to buy chicken feed, etc.
