THURSDAY

Worked on the job search and found another one to send an application on. A couple others that require you to go through their [uncooperative] websites. I don't know what it is with those but I have more trouble with 'em and have to look for an alternative which some have but other's don't. Very annoying!

Just one yellow jacket dispatched early today and one more late afternoon. Maybe the nights are cool enough that they're beginning to die off... hope, hope, hope. I did an internet search to read up [again] on their cycle and learned the breeding females had their honeymoon flight this fall and will hole up in new locations. This year's old nest of the old queen, males and workers will die out and will not be re-used next year. We found two nests of them this summer and will glad to see them gone. Next May-June I'll put out a wasp trap in hopes of preventing subsequent hives developing on our property.

After supper while I was doing dishes Leofwyna revamped the plastic bowl storage cupboard which is one of the banes of my existance being a high cupboard I resist accessing. This makes her unhappy as I leave 'em piled on the side cabinet after they've been washed. We'll see if this helps.

I'm absolutely certain storage bins multiple in the dark, like rabbits!

My husband hates looking for lids. I regularly find bins with aluminum foil in the fridge because he can't be arsed to find the matching lid.

I wish we had a drawer for them so it wasn't so hard to get to them.

Mostly I'd just as soon use a ziplock rather than wrestle bowl and lid from the piles in that high cupboard.

Oh, storage bins are of the devil, even if I don't believe in him. I left *all* of mine with the ex and am slowly accumulating new ones. So far they're managable.

I keep a 3-step ladder, gotten at WalMart, right in the kitchen 'cause I'm so short and my cabinets are too high for me to reach any but the bottom shelf. I use it every single day, often more than once a day. So it stays right in the kitchen.

We have a two-step stool by the 'fridge but I usually grab a kitchen chair if I just have to reach something. Usually if I can't get something apropriate off the front of the pile, which I can reach, I'll just grab a ziplock.
