Go, Fluffy!

I went into the kitchen looking for brunch and ended up emptying the sink *again*. (This was utencils from the counter; I got the countertop dishes done last night before bed.) There were a few things like ladles and serving spoons and my most-often used knives.

My knife drawer has been not rolling smoothly for some time...as in the last couple years. This afternoon, I actually pulled it all the way out to see WHY it was sticking. Will you look at that, the back and bottom of the drawer are coming apart.

Without delay, I fetched a small hammer from my crafting tools and began realigning and tapping at it. It took a few minutes, but I managed to geet the tongues into the grooves, the doves into the tails, whatever you want to call it---it's FIXED.

I also rearranged things on the wall. It's the wall that's going to be torn out someday, but meanwhile, it saves me having to rummage around for odd-sized stuff that doesn't fit into drawers but disappears in cabinets---jumbo slotted spoon, strainers, funnels and my collection of cast-iron trivets...I also have a collection of "copper" jello molds (actually colored aluminum)---they're displayed on the soffits above my cabinets.

I'm making progress---but I *still* haven't had brunch.

Rock on with your bad self! I've got a sink-ful that have been mouldering for over a week and I really do need to deal with it tonight. Last night I was delayed only by my other least favorite chore in the world: laundry. There had been a flooding incident in the bathroom and hubby used ALL the towels to resolve it, thereby leaving me to get them washed and tried.

I've more or less been staying on top of the dish situation, but haven't done laundry in weeks, and I *need* to---especially since I have jury duty next week and will need something appropriate to wear.
