cleaning house...part II

I feel that I am in a losing battle...with myself because you see,
I went camping.

I was cleaning my house, had not yet gotten to my car. And I was going camping.
Seeing as how I had to haul up my various outdoorsy attire, I had to be able to fit it into my rig.
...and that wasn't happening until I cleaned out my trooper. Hmmm.
Do you see my dilemma? Maybe not, but my trooper was full of stuff that, like my house, I am reluctant to let go of.
Soooo....
What did I do with all of the stuff that has been my constant traveling companion?
Most of it went into my living room.

Funny. I relate my house and my car to my current mental/spiritual/emotional state.
It's interesting that when I clean up one area, I justify messing it up again in the name of clearing out another.

In other words, I am not really cleaning.
I am just moving my junk around to:
1) Make room for even MORE junk, and
2) Try to make something clean when all I have done is just make it LOOK clean.
Interesting.

Hey I have been checking your blog every day for almost a month and you haven't written anything new. So to encourage you to write more, I am writing to tell you that I really enjoy reading your blogs and you are a talented writer. Granted, you are my favorite aunt, some might think I'm just saying that but that just makes it apparent that they haven't read your blog so what do they know? I miss you and I'm sorry I haven't called, last week I worked 70 hrs so I've been busy. Hope all is good. Call me soon.
