The Kitch Cure day 11 & 12 (2014)

Changing trains recently I got caught in a strong crosswind in the station. I stopped, letting the wind crash into me. Stopped there to feel it.  I may be at that stage of anxiety where I want to feel something. It's not that I'm numb it's the constant buzz of anxiety. I want to be in the rush of something. I want to connect these feelings to something...because situations, conflicts, problems give the anxiety a context and hopes for solutions. I am looking for causes for this anxiety and fixating on things...chasing them as if they may help.

My next shrink appointment is in about 48 hours. I probably should have rescheduled and bumped it up a week.

The Kitchn Cure isn't as absurd as it was last year. I continue to do it because it gives me tasks. It gives me some small section of my kitchen to "cure" and gives me an idea of how many things to tackle are "too many things."

The Kitchn Cure Day 11: Monday, August 25
Assignment: Declutter the pantry and make a donation box. Make a list of anything you're missing or need.
The Kitchn Cure Day 12: Tuesday, August 26
Assignment: Clean and organize your pantry shelves, or wherever you store

Once more, it would make little sense for me to declutter...put everything back into place and then take everything back out to clean.

First, let's look at unrealistic pantry pictures from the Kitchn

These kitchens belong to no tribe of my people.

Now my before and after shots.( Not stellar but better )

Something from my pantry I will never be able to get rid of...
