| | I admit, I have an obsession. My stove has to be shining clean, or it's a sign that I'm living too fast.
Cleaning
a stove is a soothing process. Cleaning a desk means finding new homes
for things, and possibly getting distracted; same goes for cleaning a
bedroom. But cleaning a stove lets you think entirely separately from
what you're actually doing, and you end up with something nice and
sparkling clean to prove it. My bedroom can be a mess, my desk can be a
mess, but if the stove's a mess for more than a week, then I'm much too
busy for far too long.
I cleaned the stove today. It's been covered with stuff for over two weeks.
Now's not the time to catch up with everything that's been going
on—Ari's new job, or my three jobs (one real one, and two contract
jobs), or my schoolwork, or our trip to San Jose, or the projects we
didn't finish before the trip, or how the apartment's a mess, or the
swing dancing, or my mental state over all of this. No, that'll come
later, if anybody is interested at all. Now is the time to use the
weekend to catch up on sleep, and work, and homework, and mental
stability.
Now is the time for cleaning stoves.
