Cleaning Circuits

The condo is a mess. Well, in my eyes it's a mess. In G's eyes it's perfectly fine. I'm not even really a neat freak. I just like things in order and I don't like dust. Maybe that does qualify me as a neat freak to some people. I used to be able to clean for hours on end, but I seem to be losing my attention span in my old age. Now I clean in circuits, like lifting weights at the gym! I'll pick up 5 or 6 misplaced items from the living room and put them away. Then I'll unload the dishwasher. Then I'll sort the laundry but not put it in the wash. Then I'll clean one of the bathrooms. Tired from listening to the craziness yet? Somehow my newfound cleaning ADD gets the job done and gives me an unintended workout in the process.

Today was a great day off from work. Kara drove up from Mountain View to hang out for the day before she moves up to Portland. Why is everyone off to Portland? I must have missed out on something! At least I now have two great people up there to visit. Sounds like a great city from what I've heard from them, too. We walked around Haight Street and did some window shopping. Ate at Ploy II (I'm still full...damn meds!). Came back here to discuss some freelance work we're doing together and then she had to leave to meet someone else downtown.

The remainder of my day off was spent with my newest friend, our 4-drawer filing cabinet! It arrived around 4pm and my cleaning ADD was replaced by organizational OCD and I gutted the office closet, reorganized everything, refiled all of my files, prepared G's drawer for his filing and I have to say the closet looks amazing and we're finally making great use out of the space. We moved into here almost a year ago and just put everything "leftover" into this closet and although it wasn't crammed full it was never really in any order and I will sleep really well tonight knowing that it all makes better sense.

I promise the next post will have more exciting content. Maybe Becky or KZ will find this one exciting :)
