Mania has always been a friend. This time it's actually not that bad. I'm able to keep semi-focused. Usually when I start cleaning, I rip apart one room, bring the laundry down and say "hey, it would only take a few minutes to get this room cleaned up, rip it apart, find a dish and start ripping apart the cabinets to clean them out, until every room is ripped apart. It's wonderful when it's all back together, but there is a lot of wasted time and energy. I've been able to catch myself and finish one room before moving on to the next. It's been amazing. So far I have three rooms completely mucked out and spring cleaned. I'm taking a break mid room 4. I REALLY want to paint this room but my husband would strangle me, I haven't finished painting the kitchen yet. The purging has been cathartic! Unfortunately the back of my husband's pick up is FULL FULL FULL so I'm limited right now with what I can get rid of. I hope it lasts long enough for me go get the whole house clean! There is a shopping aspect this time that is new. I'm not enjoing that at all.
