I've mentioned before what the Beast can be like when the weather won't allow him to be driving around on his mower. He starts on something in the house. Thankfully, nothing needs painting, although that's usually a spring weather job since the smell of paint makes him ill after a while unless he can open up the house. But you never know with him......
He decided he needed to organize our walk-in closet. Now I don't really want to complain about THAT since it really needed doing. He had WAY too many clothes on his side of the closet (which happens to be the largest side, btw). But he started taking the empty hangers (which I had been on him to get out of his side of the closet and put them over the dryer) and just throwing them in a big pile on our bed. OMG!! What a mess! I couldn't believe just how many he had plus he added the hangers from the tshirts that he took off hangers (I folded them so he could put them in a storage bin). THEN...he says to me, *Why don't you straighten those out and find a way to tie them together?* If looks could kill, he would have been dead on the floor.
But I took a deep breath and started to grab a bunch and brought them into my computer room. I sorted them (the ones for holding regular and the ones with the grooves in them). I put a dozen of them together and secured them with rubber bands around the neck and then one on each end of the hanger. It will keep them neat. I also kept out a dozen for over the dryer so we have some handy for clothes that need hanging up straight out of the dryer. I have some more empty ones here in my computer room closet and about a half dozen in my walk-in on my side. But those all have clothes that will be going back on them as soon as they are washed.
I have secured over 100 hangers that will be going out to the cottage tomorrow and into a bin that has room for them. It was NOT a fun job, trust me. But, I have hangers to spare at the moment...LOL. I also helped sort and pack up some extra sheets we had on the shelves in our closet. I need to talk to Sheepie and find out what size bed she has. If it's a queen size, I have some sheets here for her. If not, oh well! I cannot throw out good sheets so they will stay in a storage bin until I get rid of some that go bad. The problem is I have a bin up in the attic that has sheets in it, too. I am such a freak that way. I love sheets, blankets and bedspreads. I'm pretty sure I have at least ONE bedspread that I could give Sheepie if she likes it. Maybe two.
Tomorrow I will finish clearing up my computer room and getting what I want into the closet. I want the floor space. Where would Chewlee make her *camp* when she stays with me if there's not enough room? LOLOL!
It's cold here, of course. Isn't it everywhere? I offered Sheepie my artificial Christmas tree as well as a lot of ornaments and things for it but she never answered me if she had one or not. I know the Princess always gets a real tree so I didn't ask her if she wanted it. It's a nice tree that has lights already on it (but I always added more to it). I just don't have a place to put it and the Beast would have a shitfit anyway. He's always been a scrooge and bah-humbug but now he has his church to back him up. I just don't want to fight with him. He takes all the joy out of any holiday and always has.
It's going down below freezing tonight but it's clear outside. I don't expect anything like snow or even rain. Tomorrow it will be around 50 degrees. I have to go out to the cottage tomorrow because I have some winter clothes out there I need to bring in the house. I have to go through them and separate out the ones I want to send my daughter, Buttmunch. If Mustachio comes down to visit (which right now seems unlikely), I can just give them to him. I have a few sweaters I know that she could use and are too big for me now. Plus a few sweat pants outfits, too. But I am not going out until it's warmer than freezing...LOL. The cottage is NOT heated at the moment. I know the Beast hasn't turned on the heat out there.
Oh, know what we ordered....and don't say a word about it being dumb, please. We ordered that dumb induction element that they've been advertising on TV. Yes, we did. Know why the Beast was so keen about it? He can make fudge at the right temperature without worrying about it plus the idea that water heats up so fast appeals to him. I'll let you know if we wasted our money or not.
Love you all. Keep warm and have a Happy Hump Day. ***Hugs***
