Not Quite Bedtime For Bonzo

People do all sorts of strange things when they are stressed out. Some folks fight with people they love; others drink or eat too much; and I understand there are even people who claim that exercise is a stress buster.

Me? I do one of two things.

The productive solution involves cleaning my house. There's nothing like a few hours of non-stop housework to take my mind off even the most difficult situation. RT likes this particular strategy a whole lot. And since I don't sleep well when I am stressed out, he has occasionally woken up to a house that truly sparkles.

The other solution is to immerse myself in some sort of arcane and usually downright silly techie project like, urmmm, redesigning my weblog template. You probably have no idea how many hours one can spend doing this. I tell myself that it is a quieter activity than vacuuming. RT works hard you know, and he needs his rest.

Besides, the cleanest house on earth just gets dirty again, and, as we know, a new template is a joy forever. OK, maybe not forever, but it is a joy tonight.

Yes, new year, new template.
Like your sleek new espresso machine.

Hoping your lovely new template stays while the stress diminishes.

mmmmmmmm, cleaninnnnnnning...

I so relate; I just did a floor to ceiling annihilation of my living room this weekend. I've somehow misplaced the power cord to my printer, a cat and several important papers that I was supposed to have posted in the mail before last week, but the upside is that I can't help but feel better for the glint off the carpet fibers.
