Note to self

 Can our next house please have:

A real pantry. I’m not good at Tetris, I am too short to use an overhead cabinet without a stool, and I’m tired of having things fall on me.

A built-in dishwasher. We are very lucky to have found our “portable” dishwasher years ago, but it is loud, takes up a lot of space, and is on it’s last leg. I’d like to have one built-in, even if it has to be as small as our current one is. I’m tired of having to move around it / move it around. 

More light. I can only keep plants by a few windows, and I’m running out of space. I’m not complaining, exactly! We really need our big oak tree’s shade to keep THIS house cool. 

A tub I can actually soak in. I don’t like cold knees, but I love an Epsom salt soak.
