I Have Achieved Counters

We can’t always see how stupid we’re being

In a chat with JM Heatherly, I bemoaned that I have no room on my kitchen counters for hydroponics. Literally. All food prep happens in twenty square inches.

The other day, I balanced ingredients on the bread maker and toaster, hoping they wouldn’t fall.

One of my base cabinets is being replaced. The counter is now held up by a stick. The drawers and contents of the cabinet (as well as everything that was on that counter) are piled on the kitchen table and other counters.

Then I realized how incredibly stupid that was. Why should I leave everything where it was convenient for the renovators?

After three hours of cleaning and organizing, I uncovered my kitchen table and 3 feet of countertop.

I can cook again. But I’m too tired to, right now.
