Ohio:

Kitchen order was restored this evening by putting two enormous plastic "refill" bins under the long kitchen table. One holds items traditionally stored in a PA laundry room cabinet: paper goods. The other holds items traditionally stored in a metal PA kitchen bin: bulk sizes of grains, starches, and GF pasta.

The clean Horde-wash formerly occupying these bins in the guest room closet went to the out of reach master BR closet top shelf. That freed up the large lower half of that closet, so Hardi can convert the guest room into his sewing room.

Taking the refill starches out of the kitchen pantry freed up plenty of room for GF soups I use as complete meals, which have been on sale at a fantastic price.

Hardi also built me two little countertop shelves for canisters-- I like the clear hard-plastic jars peanuts and canned grapefruit come in, to hold hot and cold cereals, potato flakes, and GF flour. Since the upper cabinets are mounted up a bit high, there's room to stack these in two layers.

Tomorrow we put up three wall shelves and two sets of coat hooks.

Brittney was not able to clean today due to arriving with a freshly sprained ankle. We made her sit for her shift, foot up, after Hardi wrapped and iced it. She said she could not afford to skip the shift to go straight to urgent care, so she spent her time tossing Newbie's ball, and promised to do her next shift seated on her client's walker (and go to urgent care right after that). No way can I let someone hurt herself here by working thru an injury, but at least she got paid by the agency for her time here.
