Hil, I feel your pain WRT lack of closets. Although it sounds like I have slightly more than you, as my hallway has kitchen cabinet type of thing (upper and lower) that serve as linen closet (lower) and game closet (upper). I love my condo, but it needs more closets. If ever I'm lucky enough to get a girlfriend, I really hope she doesn't have a lot of clothes or clutter to store.

That being said, I recall making a bunch of 'closets' for Pix and ND when they moved into their Pasadena bungalow, as it had none. Lovely Ikea pieces. Maybe those would help? Not today. But, an idea.

As for meds in the bathroom, moisture shouldn't be an issue, as they all come in little bottles that seal tightly. Sometimes so much so, you can't open the bloody thing when you want it. Temperature is another thing. But my kitchen gets hotter than the bathroom. :: shrugs::

I *have* plenty of closets. I just have stuff in them I don't really need to have, so all the stuff that should be in closets lies around all in the way and cluttery.

We do not have sufficient closets here for our purposes. I'm glad we at least expanded the one in what will be ltc's room when we first moved in.

This is me, too. Also the not knowing where to put things that don't have an obvious place. Clutter is my nemesis. askye, keepng meds in a breadbox is a great idea; Imma steal it.

I need to start using the whole house instead of keeping my stuff in my own little area so it didn't get lost in Hubby's stuff.

Zen -steal away! It's a cute breadbox that has a lid that comes off rather than being one that opens and closes -- but mom got it at a garage sale when I first moved up here. Everything fits and I use a pill container for the week so I only have to fish out prescription bottles once a week. Theoretically. Right now it's not being used.

I vacuumed and did 2 loads of laundry and I spent a bunch at the grocery store but I made smart choices so that's a win for me.

Under the bed can be good storage. And also some kind of coffee table/ottoman with storage built in. I have a trunk I use for a coffee table (although right now it's an under the window table) and it's at various times held: dvds, books, out of season clothes, blankets, random misc crap that needed to be stored. It doubles as furniture, except it's a little to high for using to prop my feet on but other than that it's been a useful piece. When I moved I put a bunch of stuff in it and then the trunk went in the pod so it saved space.

Work tomorrow. I don't want to go it's supposed to be in the 80s for the last part of my shift with humidity levels around 80%. Then Wednesday is going to be worse - high of 91 that day and just as humid.

I grocery shopped with the idea that my feet and hands will swell. So lots of fruit, lettuce, and lower sodium stuff and I'll be drinking lots of water. Just need to remember to turn on at least on a/c before I leave so it will be cool-ish when I get home.

My mother just joined facebook but doesn't want to friend many people. Why do I think this is going to lead to a bunch of people contacting me asking why my mother won't friend them.

I handle this by saying either "I only use it for family" or "I only use it for business" or some other variation as applies. Mostly this is used to keep away my super right wing customers that want to friend me.

That's exactly the kind I was looking at! Onto the wish list it goes.

I'm all about useful things that can also be storage. My coffee table has drawers and also lifts up for storage. My under-the-window ottoman provides extra seating at the dining table and also stores packing material. My entertainment center is this 1970s vintage enormous eight-foot-by-six-foot thing of drawers and shelves. I just love cubbyholes and boxes and hiding things away. My neuroses, I have turned them into a decorating theme.

I'm thinking some of the people she is going to want to avoid are relatives (the more distant ones). Should be interesting.
