How to tell when your neat and tidy nature has turned to OCD. And, when your OCD has turned into absolute insanity. When having an employer/teacher/mentor to your house for the first time, a neat freak will do the serious cleaning the night before, buy a coffee cake, and beverage, and do touch ups in the morning. An OCD neat freak wakes up early the morning of the visits, and cleans everything again. And an INSANE neat freak wakes up at 5:00 a.m, vaccuums again, carpet cleans, showers, vaccuums again, spot cleans the carpet, dries with a hair dryer, vaccuums one more time, because you're certain you still see cat fur. And then showers again, because you got sweaty again. Repeat madness with every other household chore. I inherited mine from my beloved grandma. Thanks, grandma! The punch line: it was my new sensei coming over. And, after my 8+ hours of combined insane cleaning of a house that was already clean to start, came in, looked around, and said, "Wow...you have a really nice house. But it scares the SH*T out of me!" Haha; have a great day.
Isn't it nice to have things done? My problem is I will think I have everything done, all the gifts bought and wrapped and then suddenly I will remember something or someone. Then it is last minute wading through the herd of shoppers at the store :)
Here's a clue that you just might need that cup of coffee, before that bowl if cereal: if you grab the bag of cat food, instead of your bag of cereal, pour yourself a big bowl of CAT CRUNCHIES, and have the cap off the milk before you realize your mistake...that's a pretty solid hint the coffee should be your priority! At least my day started with a laugh! Have a great day!
Feline Physics 101: Your seven pound cat, being neither solid, liquid, nor gas, can and will expand to occupy all but a six by six inch square of your queen sized bed. Feline Behaviors 101: The aforementioned cat, regarding you only as "food dispenser," really does expect you to sleep on the floor. Have a great Wednesday!
