So many tumbling around my mind I really don’t quite know where to start.
I’ve just typed and deleted three different sentences. That’s massively unlike me. Usually blog posts are pretty much stream of consciousness, with minimal editing, unless they’re on a particular issue. I suppose I pre format them in my brain, before squirting them out for you to read, savour, or ignore as you see fit. They’re out of my head and that’s the important bit for me.
Sometimes it feels like I might pop if I don’t get the words out. That they are physically bouncing around my brain, and distract me from the day around me and what I might manage to do. I remember reading a book review, maybe by Karamina? about an organisational book that recommended writing everything down on pieces of paper, as once it was committed to paper it was out of your head and you’d stop worrying about it.
I made six different lists after I read that post. Not on individual bits of paper, there would have been a pile. I think I might have managed to do about three things off each list, then I lost them. They are probably still here somewhere, although I am trying to declutter, just not as efficiently as I seem to be acquiring clutter.
I’m ever so good at acquiring stuff. There’s review things, that I don’t like to say no to. And the children are massively grateful for. And there’s competition wins – I love competitions. I love winning things. Especially books. I really love books. (I won 16 yesterday. Don’t tell anyone though, maybe I can sneak them in.)
I need more bookcases. There are gaps around the walls – and then if I got books into bookcases, I might be able to sort out some of the stuff the books are hiding. Bookcases are a priority. And then using binliners. And saying no. Particularly to hand me downs. Even though I feel so guilty refusing things, but unless we can extend this house we really don’t have room for anything else.
I’m rambling. And, shock horror, there’s no image with this post. Yet. My compulsive behaviour means there will be in a minute….
