However, I have opened the half empty kitchen cupboard, that was moved to install the upgraded gas boiler, and all those infernal pipes to others; to me the kitchen is now warmer and cosier with the heat radiating off these pipes.
My cousin originally emptied the cupboard for me, them I semi refilled it to clear the mess it made for I could not stand it. Thus the gas engineers cleared this and put it all back at start of the works. I had missed the original appointment to move said cupboard. All this happened on moving back in, originally the upgrade was going to be installed before I moved back in, while I was in temporary accommodation for a few months when the home was being de-cluttered ... this would have been so much easier ... without me to deal with as well, so newly grieved at the time and only working on automatic pilot with what I could achieve, at the time not that much, due to the fact I had, had a serious crush injury that was still healing ... and had flooded the home by this time and the MP had to be involved in getting the promised gas boiler upgrade.
TIME LINE brief ... so much happened ... besides ...
- Jan-March end ... in Temp Accommodation for clear of clutter, repairs and gas upgrade...
- April ... home flooded
- June ... Thumb accident
- July ... Finally nearly 5 months after said .... Upgraded gas boiler installation
But such is life ...
This cupboard being moved from a lovely convenient area, needs to be re-arranged to have items not used so often. It is not in such a convenient spot; but still a most useful streamlined space area although now in a different context. It is a case of finally, re-planning this space.
Being in such a muddle in my mind also ... until trying to start somewhere, finally, now I have the time for myself. I am hoping for things to start to fall into place. I will be working out the best use of the cupboard this week (I hope). It has been half empty for too long and needs to function to give the rest of the kitchen counters a rest, from the items that should be in the cupboards by now.
This is the conflicts of living with hoarding; I am only just coming to terms with the fact my home will stay how I now organise it and not be bothered with the complexities that are no more.
The work triangle of the kitchen has always functioned, since moving back in ... (I am fortunate to have a reasonable size kitchen).
I just need it to be fully functional, with them stuffing up the pantry, with the items from the clear ... that no-one realised the task of overwhelming problems ... I have been left with ... and just no longer interested in stuff and sometimes life ... to do anything in this home. At that time, and more ...
