We just got power back on late last night after wonderful Hurricane Matthew blew through the area Saturday night (October 8th). Only lost the Keurig coffee maker in the power surge. I ordered a new smaller one. We won’t need a huge one in our new life.
I was moving all my paper recipes onto an online database right up until we lost power. I’ll work on it more this weekend. I have thousands of recipes that need organizing into a place that takes up less space. I’m using Big Oven. It works great. You should check it out if you want a place to store recipes that doesn’t take up physical space. I can access it from my laptop as well as an app on my phone so my recipes are always on hand when I’m grocery shopping.
My loose stack of recipes.
These binders are filled with recipes as well!
After the loss of power, I cleaned out all my dresser drawers and was forced to throw everything out of the refrigerator and wash that all out due to the lack of power. Sigh. I told the kids I like it that way so get used to an empty refrigerator and freezer. It looks sooooo pretty.
Other than that I didn’t get much done besides read. Being without power sucks.
I still haven’t touched that stupid linen closet.
Things removed from my life: One large Keurig coffee maker (replaced with a much smaller version), various old clothes, cards, other junk from my dresser drawers, one large bag full of paper recipes that have been converted to an electronic version or that I decided Jeff would never even consider eating so why bother keeping and 5 garbage bags full of spoiled food from the refrigerator.
259 Days and counting.
