Today represents the completion of our 12th full week of self-isolation due to “Safer/Stay at Home” orders. My, how time flies (is there a sarcasm font out there?)
Kiddo #2 “graduated” from her Pediatrics residency program tonight. She doesn’t actually finish until June 30th. Usually they have a big celebratory dinner and invite the families. Instead, they did a small virtual ceremony earlier than usual. We are so proud of her!
2 more steps are required – pass the Pediatrics board exam and find a job. Many places are under hiring freezes, even for doctors. Since the kids aren’t in school, they (and their families) aren’t getting sick! Add to that the people losing their health insurance due to layoffs and you have plenty of uncertainty. It seems weird to think we are in the middle of a PANDEMIC and some medical professions are not “needed” at this time.
On the home front, John played with the sprinklers (again and still!). Things are looking so much better. Can’t wait to post a picture of the grass actually growing!
I moved to the middle drawer to declutter it. Here’s the stuff that was decluttered and the before and after pic. We have no idea where the rest of the Cuisinart mini is. Maybe decluttered earlier? Most of the paper pile was recipes torn from magazines and newspapers along with a BUNCH of recipe empty recipe cards.
Decluttering the Stuff 
Congratulations to kiddo #2! That’s exciting!! And wow that’s a lot of stuff!!!! Good job!!

Sometimes I find it really interesting to see other people’s stuff. I guess because normally you only see your own stuff… I don’t go to people’s houses and start looking in their drawers, haha, so it’s interesting to see what other people have and how they store it.

me too! I guess we have voyeuristic tendencies! Out of curiosity, do you keep any of these things in a drawer?

I don’t think so, I don’t think I even have most of the stuff in the picture! I keep measuring glasses on a shelf in the cupboard but not a drawer.

My mom always kept them in a drawer – did yours keep them on a shelf?

My parents/family kept stuff all over the place – and I do mean all over the place! I don’t know if there was any organization involved but it seemed more like it went wherever it could fit!!! My husband, however, is very organized so I just put things back from wherever he puts them.
