Wonderful donations of
books at work filled my shelves. Yesterday
I got them off the floor and sorted. While
G is at the museum, I may go in to work this afternoon just so I can get them
priced if nothing else.
Meanwhile, I’m beginning
in the Laundry Room. What’s it’s
function, asks the author of the program.
I have to reply, “To store laundry supplies, to store hangers, and to do
laundry.” The truth is, it’s a total
mess with little bits and odds and ends just gathering dust above and below the
machines….which need cleaning too.
George does the
laundry. He says it keeps him moving
away from his computer for a few hours two days a week. The laundry is pretreated upstairs and stored
in a laundry hamper in its own hidden cupboard.
Two flights down there’s a built in table for folded items and a heavy
rod for clothes on hangers. That part is
ok.
The author asks about areas
for things that must dry flat? I laugh
and say that the warm hood of a car or truck works very well. Ironing?
Being the laziest person on the west coast, I don’t iron. If it has to be cleaned or ironed, it can go
to the cleaners and get pressed there.
Step two: Declutter your
laundry room. I couldn’t find a picture
to show you how bad it is. Step three:
Making it functional. Step four: Making it pretty….and I laugh. How can one
make a dark garage corner pretty.
Margot is coming
today. Her Rav4 is registered, insured,
and in the shop. We have an estimate for
the repairs, and she’s coming down to pick up a check. I’m really proud of her for getting all this
done. The last two things are the body
shop and two tires.
Best of all, my sewing
machine is out of the shop. We have lift
off.
We did our laundry room last year. So much better! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour dedication to this task is praiseworthy.
ReplyDelete....to counter the fact that I am a slob. LOL
DeleteMy laundry room does not have much room!!!
ReplyDeleteI share a laundry room with four other people in my condo building. The sweet woman who cleans the hallways cleans the laundry room too. It's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYep, clean sweep of the laundry corner.
ReplyDeleteI've not been very good at keeping up with my organizing... Have finished another apron with two half-way done. It's slow going... I also proofread a couple of short stories for an online author, which took me away from my sewing machine. I put my Bernina in the shop in Bakersfield, and we put our truck in the shop here in town. The Honda will go into the body shop when the truck gets out of the mechanic's shop. We're playing musical vehicles here... LOL
ReplyDeletep.s. I store all of my pens/pencils/gels in round containers and cups, set on a shelf in a cupboard (out of the light-though I don't know that the light will bother them). I discovered several of my gel pens had dried up. I thought there was a way to get them fluid again but don't remember what it was. :/
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm the laziest person on the west coast! My hubby cooks, does the dishes, the laundry, and we NEVER iron, except maybe a Halloween costume. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the pain. Miserable, I know. My Sis has IBS.
