I don't know if I have the mental energy to write much on here today, but I'll give it a shot. I spent 5 hours at work today copying a placing book, drove home, and spent another 5 hours organizing and shifting and moving and building things in my bedroom. I am not physically tired... but my brain has checked out. I honestly found myself a few times stopping in the middle of what I was doing for about 5 seconds or so before I realized that I had stopped. I still have SO MUCH to do, but I can't do it tonight due to the fact that I have work in 9 hours, and at least 7 of those need to be sleep.
Right now, I am doing everything possible to try to calm down enough to relax so I can go to bed. When I start cleaning and organizing, I turn into a sort of OCD monster. Little details are VERY important to get right, because it's the little things that makes something good become something AMAZING. Problem is, I have so many huge broad things I need to do that I can't focus on the little things. I find myself wanting to do everything perfect the first time, which means it takes forever to get one thing done. Right now I am doing everything possible to NOT think about cleaning and organizing, but as you can see... it's not working.
Here's just a small tidbit of why thinking about cleaning is driving me nuts. If you can't get through it, don't worry. Neither can I.
My thought process:
Honestly, what I want more than anything right now is to just get my clothes put in my closet. Sounds simple, right? Nope. I have crap from clear back when I was 12 all over the closet floor. Even tho this doesn't really impact the clothes I want to hang up, it is cluttered, I and I don't want to put my clothes in somewhere that isn't completely what I want it to be. Hence, I have to clear out the cloest first. Now, I can't just take all these things out of the closet. That just moves the mess, it doesn't fix it. So I have to figure out where to put all these things before I can even move them. And once I find somewhere to put them, I have to sort them out, because they all go to different places. I also need to take down the glow-in-the-dark beads that are serving as my closet "door" because I'm definitely over the glow-in-the-dark thing. Once I take those down, I have to spackle holes. Those holes will need to be painted over, which means I need to find paint that matches the trim. If I have that paint, I'll need to paint my door too, because it has a big spot that the paint's chipped off. And with that, I should fix up the spots on my wall where the grey paint crossed over where it shouldn't have. I could probably get the banister in the hallway with the same stuff... I think it's the same color. Wait.... what was I trying to do again? Oh yeah. Clothes. But I can't put the clothes in the closet cuz there's crap all over the floor. I have nowhere to put the crap.
I can't tell if this is OCD, ADD, or some horrific combination of the two.... But I will be SO GLAD when this is finished.
