Moving Forward Little by Little

I needed to check-in to show that I have finished all the tasks on the original list.

1. Line the trash and recycle containers with plastic bags.
2. Replace the water jug on my dispenser, and take the empty containers to refill.
3. Retrieve the bins from the curb.
4. Clear and clean the counter to the left of my stove.  (Still have a few things to clear.)
5. Clean and disinfect my microwave.
6. Put away the clean dishes from the dishwasher.
7. Dry, fold, and put away the clean towels.
8. Buy a new shower curtain liner to replace the one that is torn.

In addition to this, I have washed and dried two other loads of laundry.  I don't dare to show how much more I have. 

I also rearranged the freezer. Yes, I also have more food in the freezer to cook for a family of four for a month. I can put nothing else in there.  I need to make an inventory and start cooking here at home and taking my lunch.  I eat out far too often and end up throwing away too much food. 

Tonight, I hope to finish clearing the refrigerator, and throwing out anything that is bad. I have already dumped out two unopened half gallons of milk, a quart of coconut water, a half gallon of orange juice, a cantaloupe, and a large clamshell container of mixed salad greens. That I can waste so much, and this only scratches the surface, makes me feel very guilty and ashamed.

The upside to this all is that I am beginning to make some headway on one room, as well as the pile of laundry.
