My roommate walked out the door this evening around 6:30. I immediately thought; music! I got up and grabbed my cd changer and popped it in. P!nk, just what I needed. I was about to start cooking when I decided to straighten up the dining room table. One thing lead to another and next thing I know I am in full swing clean up mode.
Every trip downstairs was in full capacity; taking something down when I needed to get something to bring back up. I had the vacuum cleaner in hand on one trip and next thing I know, I am using it to dust the shelves. As I was cleaning my car collection I realized, this cleaning thing might just be an avoidance tatic. Although my place is in need of a deep spring clean, I thought, I might be in the grip of a distraction that is taking me away from the real issues.
As I realized this I quickly brought myself out of clean up mode. I finished the shelves I was working on wrapped things up. I took the garbage out and I put a pot of water on to boil. I took one more trip downstairs, to have a shower. I came back and made a quick dinner. As I sat down to watch an episode of Xena and eat my meal I thought, wow that was close. I almost got lost in that clean up frenzy at the expense of just sitting back and having a quiet evening.

You have a car collection? I thought you just had the one, the red one.
