Tales of the Type A Orgnizer

Apparently the phrase "take it easy" today is code for attacking the house and organizing large corners of clutter that have accumulated over the past few months. Huh. I'll have to watch out for that next time.
But sometimes one needs to do such things, and the cleaning folk are going to be here sometime within the next few hours. I figured once they showed up, I'd be forced to stop and do something less frenetic.
What's odd is that I didn't even think the house was that far into disrepair. It's all relative.

Amazing what one can unearth once one gets started.

Not only did I successfully get stuff done in time for the cleaners, but my imposed order on my spouse's space was not too over the top. I think after 9 years of co-habitation I've finally found a reasonable balance. It boils down to mostly: Don't move the piles of stuff from where they were (when possible).

that works. My rule is "don't mess with the desk." I can cope with rearrangement of most everything else.

I messed with the desk. The desk was a danger to all who walked near. I swear this really is the first time the reaction was positive to my interferance. Not that I feel a need to do this often, but sometimes intervention is necessary for *my* sanity

Nod. I'm glad it worked out. I just asked Pygment to make time to deal with a particular bit of cruft because it was interfering with my normal coming-home routine. I suppose I should have done it myself (under the household "If it's bugging you, do something about it" rule) but I think this works. And, yeah, I'm all for sanity-preservation. No need to bring out Stabby McStabpants.
