Up, Down and All Around

Haven

Last week was essentially a blur.

That's what happens when I get sucked into this bottomless pit called household chores. LOL. There never seems to be an end to the things that need to be done to get everything at home 'just so'...

A lot of it is because of my mom. She's one of those neatniks who habitually lets things decay to the point of chaos, until one day she just snaps and goes on this weeklong cleaning rampage to get things back in order. Last week was one such week. And of course, I'm expected to help!

* Sigh! *

To be honest, I've long stopped trying to get my own stuff in order. There's something rather comforting about entering the clutter that is my room -- the messy disarray of books piled high in one corner, the shoe boxes stacked haphazardly under one of the tables, the black tangle of wires from my PC and various electronic gadgetry, the crazy jumble of cosmetics shoved carelessly in front of the bathroom mirror... oh, and how could I forget -- there's that stack of Christmas cards beside the TV that I never got around to sending out last year. hahaha!

In all other aspects of my life, I go out of my way to be organized. So I truly relish the luxury and the freedom of having my own space in which to veg out and relax. It's a safe haven that I can retreat to at the end of each day.
