Out of reach

CJ Antichow
, , , , , , , , , , ,

I read something yesterday where a woman said that when she is upset or overwhelmed she “rage cleans” and listens to loud music.

I was thinking hmmm…must be nice.

When I am upset I shut down. I lay on the couch (if nobody is around to notice) and I rage nap. I rage being in a sloth-like state. For some reason I can’t force myself to get up and be productive when I’m upset.

Today I am going to happy-and-content clean. There’s no rage in me, luckily. The sky is blue, sun’s out.

All relationships require breaks, even happy ones, and so I’m glad that Clint is out of town fishing with some friends. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. For some reason every now and then, I need things out of my reach to really want them.

Happy Saturday!

Last night I continued my un-decorating by wrapping these guys up and putting them all away

    That’s an impressive set of Nutcrackers. Also cracking nuts by hand with a cracker is stress relieving.

    I tend to clean when I’m mad. When I’m overwhelmed, that is when I shutdown and become lazy.

    You and I are alike in the fact that we shut down. I shut everyone out and just stay to myself when I am emotional, regardless of the emotion.
