They say silence is golden. I agree.
However, the only way for me to get silence in my head is to complete tasks. That is one thing about my mild OCD that no one gets. Until I complete certain things I can’t really relax. Let’s say there is a list in my head of things to do each day. If I miss something it moves to the next days list. I can hear the list in my head all day. For example I know that on Thursdays I change the bed. I have to change the bed on Thursdays. That’s just how it is. If I can’t, for whatever reason, that task adds to another day’s list and that day’s list gets louder in my head because there is too much on it. Does that make any sense? It’s a bit more literal than the *actual* chatterings of my OCD brain as I see it, but pretty accurate as far as explanation. The only difference is a lot of what I feel compelled to do is autopilot. I automatically sweep kitty litter and vacuum the stairs everyday when I get home. I swiffer furniture on certain days, ect… I don’t have to normally tie it to a day. Whatever. The list scenario works. Now that you know I’m a nut-job, here’s the point…
It was expressed to me that the last time Richard’s mother visited she felt she couldn’t touch anything when I am around. I may be miss quoting or making stuff up (as I am oft accused) but that was my impression. So I have been making a CONSCIOUS effort to be less… cleaning up after anyone moves. It is making me crazy! My brain is SCREAMING at me every second I am home about STUFF I NEED TO DO!! I am miserable in my own house. I don’t want to look at it, sit in it, be in it UNTIL I FEEL CAUGHT UP!!
But I can’t get caught up without time alone. And yes I know in my head that Richard is doing his best to keep things as we like them. I do. And I appreciate it more than I have told him.
BUT HE FORGETS MY TOUCH OF THE CRAZY!
It’s only a week (and a day, grr!) We will all survive the Mother In Law visit. Hopefully our relationship will too. But I am taking some mental health hits over here… I need to wash the floor, wash every towel, vacuum all surfaces, and bleach things. Sorry.

Dude. What is up with the spam comments lately? It’s not even bots (of course, thanks to EE), but like real people writing fake comments with bogus links to commercial crappery. Ugh.
Anyhoo, how’s your day? Mine was bad. I have had a bad 3 days actually. My head is just not in “the game” as they say. Probably because it’s all up in some other game. Vampires Live for iPhone to be exact. That thing is the most addictive thing I have experienced to date. And I am unanimous in that. Worse than cigarettes, booze, and porn. I swear I get anxiety if I don’t check in regularly. I get violent if I get interrupted too, like by stupid work matters and such. It’s crazy addictive.
Basically a standard boring RPG like D&D only without dice. Not that I know for sure, as I have never played D&D. I am working on assumption here. It’s basically a chance and numbers thing combined with strategy and a fun theme. Vampires. As we all know, vampires are like totally hot right now. So yeah. The game makers are genius too. This super addictive crack-like gambling game lets you PAY CASH MONEY to advance by buying more blood (since blood is totally currency in Vampires Live land!). I have been bitten by that 4.99 bug twice (OCD). Ouch. I hope I can still afford a car wash tomorrow!
So yeah, this game is sucking the vida right out of me mijos! Really! I feel like a zombie from staring into the tiny screen, but alas, I cannot stop. I need a vampire intervention. Where’s Edward when I need him?

whaat!
I knew it was time to get my ass out of bed when I started dreaming that I was on my hands and knees sweeping up someone else’s kitchen floor.

Ladies, have I got a gem of a product to share with you!
This product is a household cleaner that I honestly was recently amazed by. You see, I have been struggling with my bath tub. It’s one of those modern fiberglass numbers with that textured non-slip bottom. You know the ones. So popular nowadays. You just don’t see a porcelain tub anymore. I tell ya they don’t make things like they used to. Anyhoo, so my tub. I scrub the sonofabitch once a week. I have used all the basics, Comet, Soft Scrub, the one with the animated bubbles.. Nothing would touch that non-slip bottom. It was dark and dingy looking. I hated it. It refused to scrub clean! My Richard even went so far as to tell me that I had “scrubbed the finish off”! The finish! Really? There is no finish on fiberglass. I would have scrubbed through the floor if that had happened.
So this past weekend out of sheer desperation I visited my local Lowes Home Improvement Store. I love the Lowes. I prefer it to Home Depot actually. It’s just more for a lady… I find Home Depot to be just too raw. Anyhoo, so I was in the Lowes staring at the wall of household cleansers wishing for a product that stated it was made for tub cleaning. I figured it was all this “multi-purpose” mumbo jumbo that was part of my issue. And lo and behold ladies, there it was:
Look at it! Commercial Strength! Basin, Tub, AND TILE!! The best part, ladies, was the price. This amazing product is just $2.85 down at your local Lowes Home Improvement. It works. Let me assure you, it really does just what it says! My tub looks amazing. I just knew it could come clean! Here’s an informative video review I found:

I vacuumed the tree mess, ejected all holiday from the house, dusted, wiped, scrubbed, and polished. I vacuumed the entire house three times and swfffered the wood floor countless more times. This place should be *spotless*.
I am still finding glitter. @#%$!!! I hate, hate, HATE glitter!! I am spotting tiny damn sparkles as I walk around the house. I try to pick it up every time I spy a piece. It’s driving me mad. I hate the glitter ornaments! I always swear that I won’t use them but every year I put them on the tree… Not to mention the awful glitter holiday cards. I had to open my mother’s card over the trash can there was so much glitter! And hers wasn’t the only one… (no offense to glitter card-senders but really? so much glitter?) There was so much glitter in this house, and I cleaned all through the month…
The war is on. I will now have to vacuum and swiffer every day.

what's up?
It’s a heavy-blog day. Like a heavy-flow day, only for bloggers. Srsly. I have posted 3 times already. I have! What? You don’t see them? Heh. Right… It’s because they are not on my blog. In fact they are all over town. There’s one at Yoshi’s, one at Katie’s, and one at Pandora’s. It’s like the old days. You know, back when I’d post my link all over the internet for free. Heh. Oh, I still tend to do that when I get the chance. Right. I would have done more since it is that FFAF thing where folk’s open there blogs, but I was busy f*cking Matt Damon. (That NEVER gets old…)
So what haven’t I covered elsewhere? I had an OCD fit today and began cleaning house the minute I walked in the door. This caused a bit of a spat between me and my man… Right. Other than that it’s been low key and tidy around here. And I got a big head start on the laundry… Woo!
