Personal Organizer: Little Lessons

I’m already picking up a couple of lessons that Sunny obviously intended for me to learn without actually telling me to do them.  Tricky and very sly.
For one thing she took away my dishpan.  She filled it with the things that were under the sink.  So now, there’s no way to just dump things in the dishpan to soak.  I have to deal with it right then.  Rinse it and put it in the dishwasher or wash it and put it in the dishdrain.  This also means there’s no dilly-dallying with the dishwasher and dishdrain either.  The dishwasher has to be run as soon as it’s full and both have to be empied as soon as things are dried.  There’s no room for procrastination because there’s no dishpan.

The other little thing, and it’s such a little thing, I noticed that when she left last week, both times, Sunny put the coffee filter in my coffee pot.  So the next morning it just just that much easier to make coffee.  It doesn’t sound like that much, but it was.  No fumbling half-asleep trying to get the filter open or separated from the other ones.  It was just there.  All I had to do was add coffee grinds and water.  So, I’ve tried doing that before I go to bed too and it does make a difference.
