Clutter: The Update…
As I promised, I would post another piece on how this is going. We were concentrating on books, alas we needed to empty a closet and make room for my grandmother’s dishes. And it helped that we had to change a fire sprinkler and had to move a table we use to paint miniatures. So…cabinets I could barely reach were suddenly within reach.
I spent two days going over those and mostly took the contents to Goodwill. As I wrote before, I know the whole industry has issues. However, we need to be cognizant of the stuff we keep out of the trash stream. So now the cups, plates and tea set that were my grandmother’s are safely in their own cabinet.
When we put the table back…we accidentally placed it further away from those cabinets. This is good. Because now I can reach the rest of the cabinets that need clearing. Which brings me next to this.
I have a pretty bad gluten allergy. Celiacs, gluten allergy it’s the same exact treatment. This means avoiding bread, cakes and other sweet treats full of gluten. So, yes, we could make this gluten-free at home. I even have the baking book as well. However, we have found good purveyors of the stuff at the local farmer’s market. And to be honest, since my tooth infection, I have lost my taste for sweet stuff. So really, no need.
