Happy birthday to my wonderful Hubby! I just wish he was
here to celebrate instead of travelling on business. Oh well, we will
celebrate on the weekend instead.
Babygirl and I are homebodies today.
That is probably a good thing since I couldn't sleep at all last night.
I think I finally fell asleep around 5 am. Not fun. I am
definitely going to need a nap this afternoon.
In light of the lack of function that
comes after a night of insomnia, I needed a simple task to keep me busy after
Babygirl and I ate lunch. First we took a walk, then I decided to tackle
the junk drawers.
Yes, drawers. For reasons I still cannot fathom, we have
devoted the three drawers on our peninsula to random chaos. I think part
of the reason is that we do not have a home office (our laptop sits on the
peninsula most of the time and goes in the laundry room when we have guests)
and all that computer stuff needs to go somewhere, preferably near the computer.
Just for the sake of humiliation, here is what they looked like
this morning:
Not as awful as they could be, I suppose, but like I said I needed an easy task, and they DID need some
straightening!
So,
when we returned from our walk I started with the first drawer. It mostly holds writing implements and
tools. It is also frequently where I
dump our phones to get them off the counter.
I took everything out. Did I
really need four tubes of hand lotion in there?
(No.) Do I really need four
things of fish food? (Maybe. Our fish was originally a very picky
eater. I kept three of them, but two are
now at the very back of the drawer.)
There was some miscellaneous stuff that didn't belong in the drawer at all, so that was easy to return to its proper places. Babygirl had several broken bracelets in this
drawer; I removed them from the cording and dumped the beads in her button
box. When I was done, and had added some
additional dividers the drawer looked much better, and had taken considerably
less time than I thought it would consume.
Hooray! So I moved on to the other two drawers:
Still
not perfect, but much better! Now I just
need to find a better solution for the cords…
