Getting Situated

When I took a break from my work, last Wed and I’m like to ToRn….there is so much I want to do and get organized but have no idea where to start. So we just started to taking everything out of the cabinets that we just threw things in when we were packing. Felt good to get some progress made that day

So we are slowly, surely getting it situated here in Ackbar, until we drive and discover what is not secured down….lol Using Museum Putty/Wax to get things secure on our desk. It seems to be working pretty good so far. Prefer the wax over the putty….seems more workable

We figured out what we where to put the litter, because it isn’t going to work in the shower. ToRn made an enclosed box to put the litter in, secured it down where a chair use to be and attached the scratching post to it. They seemed to enjoy it.

The good thing about getting the litter out, is we finally get the shower cleaned out and set up. We changed out the shower head. We were going down to our friends’ house and using their shower. LOVE the running hot water….bbbutt…we really needed to start practicing in ours and getting use to it. Really need to learn how to conserve water….trying to develop a routine.

Thanks to Daphna, came up with an idea for the bigger closet. We had been using those hanging cloth shelves and they were so not working. Pretty much made pine tables since there is no real way to secure them to the press wood. With Daphna’s help I got it made and put up. Our closets look much better. We got some hooks up in the bedroom for our towels (can’t really get them into the small bathroom), jackets and hoodies.

ToRn attacked under the sink…it was just an open space that is both small and totally open. He got a shelf added for light things and put up hooks for some of our pans. Need to see if they are going to make noise when driving….may need to cushion/noise muffler on the wall where the pans hang, but won’t know until we drive it. But it looks so much better and more workable under there.

I found that the veggie hammocks are great for my scrunches in the bathroom, my small plush animals in the bedroom, veggies in the kitchen (of course) and another one in the kitchen for extra things. Thinking that it’ll come in handy when we are driving I’ll be putting in the little kitchen things for securing….like hand soap, etc…….empty starbucks cups….lol

It is finally feeling “homey”

We really want one or two nice days so we can totally rework out basements and weed out more stuff. That is the only stuff left that we have in our friends’ office area. Got the feeling we will be getting rid of a lot of it. The rest of the stuff we have in their office, is what we gave them……but makes it so confusing with the stuff we are keeping.

Had a good weather day yesterday….not so much today….our luck….lol And we really wanted to get more done….but that will be for another day.

Tomorrow, I’ll be attacking books and emails….if the weather doesn’t improve.
