I feel like the mouse in If you Give a Mouse a Cookie--one thing leads to another ad infinitum, so far. And the connections are so random. I'm roasting pumpkins because I had two left over from the fall. I pulled out a decorating book because taking down the filthy swags on my windows was a pain, and I don't even like them and they're not useful, so why put them back up? Wanted to use the stick vacuum, but had to clean filter, then spent a good ten minutes wondering why it wouldn't go back on (I had it backwards). I cleared off buffet, but merely moved stuff to DR table, which now frightens me. How to stop the madness?

I read and write too and most of the time cleaning and doing the laundry do not always get to the top of my list of to-do things. However, whenever I feel mentally disorganized, emotionally challenged, and simply upset, doing the laundry is my priority. It is a good way of releasing all the energy and stress. You have a clearer mind, a peaceful home, and cleaner clothes in the end. Kristin, I agree with you 100%.
