damia -> RE: Organization around the house (5/9/2007 9:51:37 PM)

Just an update: applied some of the advice given, and moved things around to accomadate His habits and wants (for example, got Him a leather 'boyfriend pillow' that sits under the coffee table when not in use, and He pulls it out about six inches to sit in front of the tv to play video games, and there is also a small table made from a cable spool that He can pull out to put His drink, ashtray, food, etc. on while He watches TV and plays video games...He loves it, and is a lot more comfortable.
i moved the dishes to a more comfortable place for Him (higher up, more easily found), and put them all together...food was put almost all together, easy to look through as they are pull out drawers...He has gotten into the habit of putting His keys on the hook by the door that i described, and the wallet on the shelf above, and it is now very comfortable for Him, and He never has trouble finding His keys and wallet anymore!
i drew up a map of the house with each shelf, drawer, cabinet, and corner that things were in, and showed it to Him. He doesn't look at it anymore, but rarely has trouble finding things anymore, and the other day, He couldn't find something, but calmly told me 'I can't find my P.T. uniform. Please find it.' Then He sat down and waited, and i found it ten minutes later. No fuss, no anger; all calm and patient...He just watched tv and trusted i would find it!
i am very happy with how things are going, and He seems much more relaxed with the way things are organized. The house still has some messy spots that i haven't worked on (like arranging the art room to fit His artistic needs and wants), but the living room and kitchen were the most important rooms to work on, and they are not set up to His satisfaction, and thus to mine.
Thank you all for the advice! It really did help.
