Mid-January Sorting

I've been on this binge lately of trying not to waste food. I'm sure that it's an influence from my boyfriend, who has to be convinced that any food, ever goes bad. (He was sure that the peppers in salsa acted as a preservative).

I think I'm gaining weight, though. Pesto is quite fattening. I put it on some thin spaghetti, then had too much spaghetti left over, then bought another small jar of pesto .... I'm doomed.

I've also been going through a new stage in my life of a little less teaching and a little more writing. The change seems to have made my well-masked disorganization worse. It's not really that well-masked, it's just all on the second floor, with the exception of the messy bookcase of cookbooks, etc.

I have piles of things, but the problem is, they don't even move. They pretty much stay where they are and get bigger. I do have one clothes pile that goes from the made !! (I want some credit here) bed to the floor. I'm still debating on whether to keep that GAP shirt.

It's as if the writing has given me an excuse to not do the other-brained things (I get mixed up whether organization / logic is right or left-brained). I'm not even spending that much more time on writing!

So if you think your house is a mess, don't feel bad. Hopefully mine will all get sorted -- I've always liked that British term. I guess that I'm the kind of person who can function some in chaos.

Must go. My day job pile is calling me.
