Chaos is a friend of mine ~Bob Dylan

Now that I am pretty much healed from being dumped early October thanks to my life in NYC, Hurricane Sandy as well as the snow/cold brought to us the week after by Athena Storm I am re-directing my energies back to getting my shit in order. Like I normally constantly strive to do as an ADDer.

I woke up today in the mood to clean and tidy because as usual my apartment goes to hell in a handbasket within days plus let's face it, I have never 'finished' settling in here, its been little by little over the past almost 1 year now. I am forever grateful for all of the people who have helped me get as far as I have. The perfectionists in me craves more stability in my home, I dont know how else to explain it but I won't stop trying till I get there.

Tonight I am taking advantage of my friend Angel who is young and has muscles to move my AC units from one closet to another, so that I can make my hallway closet between the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen as pantry closet of sorts. Currently all of my stuff is out in the living room from both closets so there's space for Angel to move the ACs and I can finally put stuff away. 

I also have to keep trying to get rid of stuff, too much crap is no good for anyone. It weighs me down and stresses me out. I can't stand it and when my surroundings gets like this! I cannot work at home (lesson plans, grades, etc., etc.) till my environment is somewhat satisfactory. It makes me unhappy when I see in my mind how it should be... but my home life does not match my vision. So once again I am back to trying to re-arrange things so that my mind can relax and focus.

Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds ~George Santayana
