Some of that is not surprising, I used to do emergency management stuff. However, my house is clean, it only took me a few minutes this morning (because today's room was the living room and it was already tidy, just needed dusting).
Soooooo......now what do I do?
The thing is that I think I find things to do when I am under pressure to do something else. Need to mop the floor? Hey! Let's write a book instead! Clean laundry piled upon the couch? Hey! Let's play video games! Kitchen in need of work? Hey! Let's cross stitch pretty hankies for everyone we know whilst we binge watch Pride and Prejudice!
Now that I am not trying to avoid anything, I have no idea what to do. It is the classic "I only want it when I can't have it" nonsense that is the root and bane of human psychology. I think the adrenaline plus dread of a chore hanging over our heads adds to the rush that distraction gives us. Now I don't need to be distracted so there is no energy that I am diverting from a stressful task to pour into a fun one.
Gah. Is this what organized feels like? ;) ;)
Today I tidied and swept, dusted the living room, wrote over 1900 words discussing the Syrian Refugee Situation, watered the plants, drove to Tennessee with TWS, came back and stopped at the feed and seed for scratch and flock raiser, drove to pick up a present, went to the pet store (they did not have the food we needed), drove to the vet to get the food and register MicroMew for his shot series, etc, went to the grocers to get our Thanksgiving meal supplies (OH! and new cleaning supplies!....wait, did I just get excited over cleaning supplies?!? Who am I and what have I done with me?), came home, put groceries away (including 4 tubs of ice cream, three boxes of ice cream bars, two boxes of chloraseptic, and one bottle of Robo--there is a cold in the house), then ate lunch.
I actually just volunteered to help The Boy clean his room.
