Emily is expected in this area Tuesday. It has been rainy most of the weekend and today with little to no wind. That is expected to change and we are nearly always warned about possible tornadoes. Since I am a bit inland, I'm hoping that the power outages and other things that accompany these storms will be attenuated as it moves. In the meantime, I should locate the can opener packed in one of the four -plus boxes in my front room and go in search of food that can be consumed from a can or box in case the power goes out.
Happy Monday...

Progress And Week Seven
Week seven of my small kitchen renovation begins tomorrow. As you can see, the cabinets are going in and counter tops will be next. I opted for black granite tile rather than slabs of stone as this was more economical. There is definitely more room under the sink which unfortunately came at the cost of some storage space.
I've had to re-think where and how to place cleaning and laundry items which has also led to another think about what I actually use, and more paring down. One all purpose cleaner, some bleach, Clorox Wipes, sponges, vinegar and baking soda. Laundry liquid, spot cleaner and dish washing liquid round out the list.
The bathroom has had a thorough clean and sort out and I hauled extra flooring from my closet in the bedroom out so that it could find a new home. It is the cheap laminate put down four years ago and I will be happy to see the last of it. The kitchen tile looks great and it is not marble but porcelain which is very durable. I've decided to use extra thick vinyl plank through out the rest of the flat as it is sturdy and waterproof and will withstand my wheelchair.
If you are thinking of the stuff in hospitals, residential vinyl looks more like wooden floor planks, complete with variations in color or tone. The rest of the flat will be brightened up with a paint job as well. In the interim, the boxes and disarray here are starting to give me some anxiety and my inner minimalist has come out in a big way as I am starting to look around and see what I can get rid of...
Wishing everyone a good week!
