I think my house is much smaller than yours, Dorothy, and only one story, but I also manage to misplace things that get stored for part of the year (or longer.) There are closets in bedrooms I rarely enter these days, trunks I've moved around, zippered under-bed bags. I have a down comforter I don't use often, and it's in an ugly duvet I made (of two top sheets) that makes it difficult to move around (but does keep it cleaner and less dust).

Patty, I feel your pain as far as an after dark delivery. Yesterday just having those bags of iris picked up was a challenge in the dark. She texted that her husband was going to help and they'd be here at 6:30. Pitch black out there, so I got my side door motion-activated LED light to stay on for the few minutes it took to stuff the bags into their SUV.

I picked up a few higher-end BPA-free plastic storage containers at Goodwill today (they probably came from the Container Store at quadruple the price) and after they run through the dishwasher I'm going to move some of my new non-gluten flours in to them. I have some elderly plastic containers that need to be retired (because: decades-old plastic that gradually flakes and who knows what it was made of). I'm also using glass containers more (canning jars; the containers that have wire bale attached lids and gaskets are ok but the gaskets can get weird if they're rubber. Finding the right size silicone gaskets isn't always easy.)

For some reason everything on eBay is at a standstill. I'm ready to revise each listing with a photo of a Xmas ribbon bow to suggest they should buy these as gifts.

There are still glitchy things in the office, but mostly it's working pretty well. The bookshelves need better arranging.
