Well, move an empty box and sit in the kitchen! That reminds me of the Great Snow of 1978, when we lived in Newport, RI. My dad was stuck at “work,” Naval War College; the officers were sleeping on tables and floors with blankets that had been borrowed from the base hospital.
Mom, Russ, and I spent several days playing Monopoly at the kitchen table with the oven on for heat!
The boxes are stacked as high as I need them to be so I have room to move around. I need access to the window and the door, so everything is stacked in the corner, but it takes up almost 2/3 of the room. In order to make it all fit, I had to stack the chairs, and there are boxes on top of them. The table is in front of them, and half of it has boxes.
I’m getting depressed just looking at them and not being able to clean house. I want to pack, but I promised me I was not going to do anything today in the way of work. I was just going to be thankful and consider all my blessings. Writing them down helps! ;o]
The pie is done and it’s beautiful! It says to cool it at least two hours, but it will still be warm then, I’m sure. I plan to eat around 1000, as that’s usually when I have my “big” meal of the day.
Dismally Inept sucked up some leaves for four hours yesterday, and now the wind is up to blow the rest of them off the trees. What fun!
