Everywhere
I am not a neat person–everyone knows that. I’m trying to keep my irritation at bay that my apartment is not cleaner; it’s reasonably CLEAN, but there is disorder everywhere. I just broke my coffee pot trying to fix a tiny part of the disorder. I remind myself that everyone knows that I am not neat, that they’ll be happy to have a welcoming apartment to come for food and good company on TG. But everywhere I look, my books and papers are saying, “SLOB! HEY, SLOB!!”
A friend of mine, who’s coming to TG, just had to empty a sick friend’s apartment. There were maggots everywhere. I tell myself that this vermin-less, recently tidied apartment will look great to her after such a terrible experience.
But all I see is disorder. Everywhere.

My house is untidy too, as you might expect. But, at least I don’t have maggots! Hope you have a wonderful TG amid the disorder!

Do you check out people’s places for disorder, etc when you go to their residence? I don’t…I tell myself that so I don’t drive myself nuts about my untidy house. People come to see you, not your place…oh and to eat all your food! Happy TG!!

Before I started doing art, my apartment was fairly reasonable. But now that I have sketchpads and paintings all over the damn place, its looking increasingly cluttered. But no maggots. It helps being a germ-a-phobe.
