Not that it's anything actually new, but I did figure out today that when you have a lot of anger, frustration, hurt, alienation, loneliness, fear, etc, etc, etc (ok, just make it any negative emotion) - cleaning the house is a good antidote. Not only is my house the cleanest it's been in um... forever... I'm also so tired (and sweaty and dehydrated), that I couldn't shed any tears even if I could remember what I had to cry about. On the plus side, the floors are swept and mopped, the kitchen floor is gleaming from a hands and knees scrubbing, the bathroom is sparkling, and there is no dust on the surfaces within reach. Oh, and the front yard is watered, garbage/recycling are at the curb, and I have clean clothes. Whew.
