amanda_loddenOh. My. God.
It turns out that writing a bunch of things and getting them out of my head did NOT free up mental space for me to focus on productive things. Instead, it freed up space for even more stuff to assault me. I'm not sure if I should write those down, too, or if that will just open the door for yet another wave afterward. (Doesn't matter right now, I have running around to do first. I did get all the 1st of the month bills out yesterday, so I don't have to spend much time at the office, but I forgot to pick up the pop cans and the list of stuff to buy so I still have to go in for a couple of minutes. I hate doing the Hurricane Amanda routine, it always means that I could have saved myself a lot of time if I'd just thought ahead.)
However, one of the things that did pop up in last night's sleeplessness was the next item in the "people who live in my house" rant:
Tenth, consider the abilities of the other people in the house relative to your own. If you drive a large car, do not leave the empty garbage cans at the end of the driveway for the person who drives the smallest car to have to haul in one at a time. Do not place items on the top-most shelf if you're pretty certain the person who will want them next is the person who is 5'4". Show some consideration.
