activity overdrive

by the time you read this....amma will be here....for a few weeks.....

what this has catalysed, is for me to set a few things in order.... you know how it is.... you organise a few things...and then papers, books, linen, even groceries get put away in not exactly their own places... groceries lie in the bags they came in at the bottom shelf of the pantry..... half used packets of whatever lie with rubber bands around them....not yet put into boxes or bottles.....clothes don't get sorted, but lie in the pile they were brought in by the dhobi.....and well.... things like that.... which i put back saying "tomorrow"....

why does all this get catalysed because amma's here?? her cupboard, is my favourite dumping ground..... for things other than the groceries....so i need to get that into order.... as for the kitchen and pantry...she busies herself in it, making her coffee and fixing a meal...much to my chagrin.... i keep telling her she's on holiday and shouldn't do this...but moms!! when was the last time they listened?? so i need to get the kitchen organised so that she can find her way through.... so the cereals, raagi flour and diabetic sweeteners come out of the recesses of the higher shelves to an easy reach place for her.... things that can confuse her (she's got failing eyesight) get put away..... all this means that i have been on an activity overdrive.....

all the things that i dumped out of sight finally get their own resting places....and i, stand back....happy with what i have accomplished....
