David and I have come to realize that our kitchen cupboards are at the end of their lifespan. I fully believe that they are original to the house--built in 1959. We knew that they would be a detriment, whenever we sell the house ( we have agreed that when one of us goes, the house goes). But we now find that they are causing problems for us right now. We've talked about what we might like, but recognized that we needed a reality check. We've decided to actively explore our options, being prepared to spend some time in the process. We accept that it's not only the cupboards that will have to be replaced, but also the counter top, and back splash.
While we doing our fact finding, we need to sort out our finances, and this means a bit of an austerity program, starting now. We went shopping today, and OMG this is going to be hard. A pleasant facet of this was that we had to buy very little food for me, and only meat and canned goods for David. Not keeping any snacks of any sort in the house pays off, in some ways. So the next step is to try to make it through the month.
