Got $tuff --- Day 9/48

Walk: Hood
Distance: Short mile just to get out




















So like many of her neighbors near and far, Ciwt has been deeper into her closets and drawers than she thought she ever would be short of moving.  And as her storeroom fills with 'donations,' she wonders if Goodwill or any of the 'usual suspects' will once again be allowed to take them. From there, it isn't much of a leap to "Whatever will Ciwt do with these things?"

The other day, she saw a Yellow Sack on the sidewalk.  Maybe that is the answer; you buy one, put it on the sidewalk, fill it and they pick it up on 24 hour notice.  But ...looks like every pick up is at least $130 and there are tons of work arounds for where you are allowed to place the sacks.  So she'll be holding off and hoping Goodwill will be back in action.  (Also that her near neighbors don't decide to go the sack route because they are quite an eyesore.

What's Your Type (Today)? --- Days 9/44 & 45

Walk: 1. Hood 2.No
Distance: 1. 4 miles, Up and Down Stairs x 5, Pedal, Yoga  2. 0 and no exercise.  Taking it easy, see                    how that goes.


Ciwt's Type changes from day to day.  Today she was Type One/No Energy maybe from being Type Three/Cleaning a lot & opening Amazon boxes yesterday.  The good news it she had major lab work recently, and apparently she is totally healthy. Guess she's just spent from constantly figuring out things to do.

U-shaped Shelves --- 9/39

Walk: Presidio and Hood
Distance: 4 miles


                    No                                Yes*

What kitchen novice Ciwt learned on the internet 💋 today:

1. The size pot she needs is the 3 quart, not the 6 quart she ordered. (video)
2. How to operate it when the proper pot arrives. (video)
3. Amazon will arrange home UPS pick ups (for the heavy 6 quart pot). (internet chat)
4. If you have small, shallowish shelves, try arranging your pantry items in a 'U' shape (with                    openness in the center) so you can actual see things in the back. (online blog)
5. You do Not need hundreds of $$ of fancy containers.  (Ciwt figured this out all by herself)

*Neither of these photos are of Ciwt's now U-shaped pantry shelves. Hers are pretty empty, except of course for cat food 😸
