Reactions/Cleaning

[legalmoose]

Definitely on the upward side of a stress cycle today, as evidenced by a massive cleaning spurt this morning and early afternoon (washed curtains, put tons of things away, tossed a bunch of junk, scrubbed down the bathroom & microwave, etc.). The main bit of it was sorrow over not running the 10 miler this morning. I briefly entertained the idea of going ahead and trying it, but thankfully common sense prevailed and I sat it out, as I have no desire to kill my legs/knees/ankles. That said, I was in a massive funk all day yesterday over it. Damned vertigo.

Am decidedly spent now, at least when it comes to cleaning. And if I keep going I’m afraid my hands will pay for it this week.

Such a predictable reaction to stress. At least it’s a productive one.

Feel free to come stress out over at my place, any day. It could use the touch up.

*grin* I'd probably do it less if I'd take more time to put things away on a regular basis.

Have you come across the fetish wherein guys get off on cleaning for you? While I've not connected yet with such a gentleman, the mere fact that this exists in the world brought me CONSIDERABLE joy and happiness.

If I had a place to fit one, it would be very tempting to get such a houseboy. ;)

I wish common sense had prevailed here. I was sick part of yesterday, and adding in a lackluster half marathon and being at home was the smarter thing to do. Instead I went out there and had a brand-new first: dropping out of a race halfway.

I really, really wish I'd just stayed at home. So good for you for making the right call.

Oof, sorry to hear that. :(
