I am such a freaky creature - I crave order. I'm not kidding. I can clean and organize and forget to eat. That's how much I crave order.
And when there's not order, I get grumpy. When things don't belong somewhere, I am unsettled until they are in their right place. I don't obsess (OCD) but it just bugs me and I want to make things right.
You know how you grab a ball point pen and it doesn't work, and you scribble on paper for a while hoping it will work and it doesn't? And then you toss it, like its a bad pen; like someone did something wrong. (Poor pen!) Anyway, that's how I feel when things are a mess. If I can't fix the mess, I go somewhere else where I feel like things are in better shape. Or someplace where I can fix things.
So.....ever since I moved my office upstairs last summer, there has been a nagging feeling that something is just not right. Where my spinning wheel sits, how my desk is ordered, the cramped quarters and the inability to get to things without a lot of hassle.
Today much of that has been remedied. And it feels so good! I have cleared out things that just don't belong in my little office. Now I've added a sewing area to the newly emptied closet. I've got the sewing machine and Serger set up, plugged in and ready for action. Or sewing. All the what-not stuff that's been piled around, laying in limbo without a place to land, has been put away. Or thrown away. Done.
