Week 2: Almost Finished

In spite of a nagging head cold that won't let up, as well as the usual Easter stuff, I managed to tick a few more things off the list for Week 2. Some of the kitchen stuff though is going to wait until its appropriate week of the Kitchn Cure. Otherwise I think I'm just about ready for Week 3, which is all about the Landing Strip (aka the entry-way), and color. I think. Gotta finish reading the chapter in the book I guess. Maybe after yoga.

Week 2 Have-Done:

1. Fix one thing: the stove is now considered "fixed" as it is no longer crooked enough to cause oil/water/whatever to slide all the way to the left side of the pan. It was absurdly easy. The back door is not fixed, the WD-40 didn't do the trick and I might try to chip off enough paint to remove the hinge, boil it, and put it back. We'll see.

2. Clean Kitchen: pretty much done, will be following through on the rest of it during the Kitchn Cure.

3. Run your hands over every wall: Yup, every wall is cold, regardless of the fact that it's an inside wall or an outside wall. Some walls are really crumbly and bad. The bathroom walls are the warmest. The dining room should NOT be painted again with flat paint - too much food prep and potential grease spatters in there. Some patching needs to be done for sure.

4. Outbox: so far I have a few kitchen things sitting on the shelf of the china cabinet. I'm sure there will be more when I get to my summer clothes.

5. Flowers: skipped this week - I am BROKE and didn't feel like going to the store.

6. Cook a new recipe: well, I don't really do much of the cooking but we did do a lot of it this week, and I did a lot of cleaning and some prep work. We made new recipes of chicken curry and pasta carbonara (the real way as written in the Silver Spoon). They were both fantastic.

So that's done and I'm ready to move onward but I really really really want to not have a cold anymore. And I'm really ready for some actual Spring weather. Both of those things could have a very positive impact on my productivity. Here's to hoping!
