In this case, the D stands for "demo" - short for demolish. It's scheduled for this coming Thursday, June 11, 2009. I am packing, packing, packing, and it's not fun.
I started out trying to be organized and clean, but now I'm basically throwing stuff in boxes so that I can just get it done.
You cannot believe how much stuff you have until you have to take it all out and put it into boxes. And how dirty my cabinets are! Of course, I'm no clean freak, so I don't even think of things like emptying my upper shelves and cleaning the dust and dirt and bugs out of them. Yes, bugs. Dead ones, of course, but there have definitely been mealy moths and spiders around. Not to mention ants, but I actually haven't seen any ant carcases.
Ok, so this makes me realize and resolve to try to keep my new cabinets clean. On my kitchen's six month anniversary, I will start to clean one cabinet a month completely - taking everything out and wiping it down. Sure I will. :-)
On the fun side, my sink came in yesterday, my faucet is on the way, and my lights should start to arrive too. I stopped today to order my refrigerator, but found I would be charged sales tax for it. Certainly I should pay sales tax, but I am paying so much more for this refrigerator than I thought I would be paying (like everything else!), that it's making me rethink the whole thing AGAIN. Jeez, I am torturing myself over 3 cubic feet, is it worth it? Is it worth an additional $500? What about the cup pulls and pulls - I've made a federal issue out of whether to have cup over cup or cup over pull. I am not usually like this.
