deathpixieI'm a pretty orderly person, on the whole. I have my moments of scatter-brainedness, and untidiness, and plain absent-mindedness, but I usually end up setting aside time to put things back in order.
This morning was one of those times. I cleaned up the mess on the floor of my room, did my laundry (always a necessity when you're down to your last clean underwear), tossed a few old t-shirts and socks and other outgrown clothing in the bag for the Salvation Army... Cleaning settles my head, helps me get my thoughts in order. I'm always vaguely unsettled when things are really messy around me.
That extends into the non-literal too. I'm orderly about a lot of things - my writing, my day-to-day living, the way I do things... And when things are unsettled around me, like the uncertainty of exactly when I get the house to myself, or what I'm doing next year, or whatever... without my plans and schemes, I get a bit wiggy. I like to know what's going on. I guess it's my need for self-control coming through again.
So after my small tidy-up, I'm feeling a bit less scattered. It's another very hot day, though, and I'm feeling oddly restless. Like I want to do something, but can't decide what. And since it's so hot, whatever it is won't be involving a lot of activity. Not until I fix the puncture on Cecil, anyway. I had to use the MTB to get to Mum and Dad's the other night.
Missing Mel - hope she's settled in okay in her new place.
