A clean house is as good as:
a tall drink of water on a hot day
fresh air in my lungs
losing twenty pounds
a first kiss
I didn't even realize how much it had been wearing on me, my messy house, until I felt the relief when it was clean. In my current anti-anxiety medicated state, I can consciously ignore the walls of chaos closing in around me when I get busy, but my subconscious is ever aware. And ever anxious about it. Restoring order is the best kind of therapy. Mama's gonna sleep good tonight.
I know exactly what you mean. Somethings are coped with but not entirely ignored.
ReplyDeletehmmm... maybe I should let my guilt win and finally go finish cleaning the family room? and then the kitchen... and the living room... etc...
