Thanks M_______ for
sending the book to
me. Insomnia works
in my favor here. I
have time to read a
book though it feels
like slow torture to
be awake when the
world is asleep.
Thanks again for
saving me from clean
ing though I should
try to do it as a
therapeutic meditation
each day. One task
per day, one room per
day, anything to
avoid the overwhelm
ing chaos that is
my bedroom. So I
should simply create
a small list:
Monday-Bathroom
Tuesday-Bedroom
Wednesday-Hallway
Thursday-Breakfast room
Friday-Kitchen
Saturday-Dining Room
Sunday-Living Room
Monday-Girlie’s Room
Tuesday-My Child’s Room
Wednesday-Laundry Room
Thursday-Basement Hallway
Friday-Unfinished Basement
Saturday-Art Studio
Sunday-The Yard
Sounds so easy when
presented in fourteen
steps, not forty (and
why don’t we spell forty
with a “u”. Just confuse
me why don’t you?)

Yeah, I’ve wondered that too. Fourty/Forty. Lists make things not so overwhelming, I find.

I think dropping the u was some evil American plot (giggle) to confuse the school children who were trying to learn to spell. I think of spelling as a game. My children, ex and current boyfriend think of it as some kind of torture. I can’t play chess, but I can write and spell. Funny.
14 items on a list is tame for me, the rest tend to be venting lists that achieve not much. I’m going to work on a three item list. Maybe.

Make the list then lose it and just get on with what needs to be done, little by little, a friend once told me all I needed to keep clean was the toilet and the kitchen….
