restoring a sense of order
There is a minor freak-out happening in my head.
I have a bad headache. My left forearm and wrist are sore from climbing and overuse. I am stressed out over this coming week. I am only in the office for two days and then I’m heading up to Boston for a conference on Wednesday morning and not returning until late on Saturday night. I will have to fit five days of work into a two-day week. I hope I can find a laptop to bring to Boston so I’m not totally disconnected whilst sitting in my hotel room. I need a haircut before Wednesday. I have to do some crazy cleaning around my living space so I’ll actually feel relieved to get home on Saturday. I’m going to have to do that tomorrow night after work and running. Probably Tuesday night, too, after a haircut if I can schedule it for then. I’ll have to pack for the conference. I have to drop off my comforter and cover at the dry cleaners. I would do the same with my winter coat if the weather forecast for Boston wasn’t for a high of 40°F/low of 34°F. I could use some new work clothes. I could really use a manicure and pedicure.
This is the bullshit minutiae making me a little crazy right now. It’s all part-and-parcel of my whole mental “thing.”
Most important, though, will be the cleaning. Once I restore a sense of order in my surroundings, I will feel 120% clearer and better and less stressed. In the same way that getting dressed up and looking good on the outside can make you feel more confident, being organized and compartmentalized outside can help with the interior issues. A little, anyway.
