One Clean Room
July 1, 2009 10:50 pm UncategorizedDo you know that people make messes? And many people make many messes? And would you believe that I do not function well in a mess? I just can’t seem to think around it! And then it is just too overwhelming to try to clean it since I can;t even get my brain to function. And I get mad.
So tonight, I was unreasonably angry for no discernible reason. Oh, I had five different things I could “blame” it on, but none of them quite fit that unreasonable level of angry. And then I realized what it was. Over the weekend, we had done some laundry and not had time to fold it. So, I had stashed it in my room. In the floor. In the middle of the floor of my ONE CLEAN ROOM. I make it a point to keep my room clean so I have a spot that I can think and work, and I had let that get violated. And my bathroom was a mess, too! It took me about 20 minutes to deal with those clothes and the bathroom, and you know what? It was as if I had given my anger magic diet pills. It was gone.
Now, if I could just spread than cleanliness to the rest of the house, life would be grand.

A dirty house doesn’t make me angry, but it does make me nervous. I feel like I can’t function well if I’m not living in a neat home. On the other hand, if I’m already feeling anxious about something else, cleaning calms me down.
