FLY LADY Week 3 - Bedroom & Bathroom

 Good morning, friends!

Well, I can't believe it's only been three weeks since I cracked the ribs. Some days I feel like I can do anything (with the help of Advil Dual) but know that I shouldn't and that is hard.

We might have found our end tables. Which means Bob is going to be ready to tear the living room apart, deep clean and set them up. I'm just not.

We are to have really nice weather this week (in the low 70s) so maybe we can get the Christmas stuff down. I think I'll start with decorations off the tree. Hey, in my current physical capabilities, anything is a start. LOL

I really do love my naps. Especially, if I can get the bedroom nice and cold. But I am trying to avoid them overall.

I told Bob yesterday that I want to start getting the sewing stuff back in the craft room so I an put the roll top desk in the bedroom. That will allow me to get the vintage wooden office chair out of storage (and out of the way so we can work on the Christmas stuff).

To get to the sewing corner, one of us needs to  move a lot of small stuff out of the path. My plan is to move what I can to the bed where I can sort while Bob moves the sewing stuff back into position. That corner needs a deep cleaning, too. So far the mouse hasn't chewed on the chord to my vintage lamp. I think we finally got rid of him. 

I've been watching quilting videos and I want to start sewing again. I need a quick baby quilt for a gal in Eureka Springs who's having the first girl in the family going back at least three generations, if memory serves me.

Plan for the week:

Get the sewing stuff back to the sewing room

Get roll top desk into position

Put all the crackers into jars 

That last one has been tricky. We have almost two cases of Town House crackers but I've not been able to operate the jar sealer. I can put the sealer on the jar but I can't pull it off. I just haven't made time for Bob and I to do that together. Maybe that will be our first task. 

If your refer back to THIS post, I can put 1- 1/2 sleeve of crackers in a quart jar. If my math is correct, that's approximately 48 quart jars of crackers for the pantry. That should sustain our pantry until next holiday season when they go on sale again. Though I got a good sale on them for the holidays, they had them almost $1 cheaper for Super Bowl. Grrr. I'll have to remember that for next year. 

Time to get busy.

Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!
