A - Z Blogging Challenge: X is for 'Xhausted

I was really cream crackered the other day when I went on a mad cleaning spree. I 'Xhaused myself out from going at it like a crazy OCD robot. I cleaned and I cleaned once more.

I did this because I really happy and I like to have a clean when I am happy, and when there is nothing in the back of your head to have time to enjoy  the simple things like cleaning.

I hoovered most of the rooms in my flat, tidied, dusted and made everything look right in perfect right angles, except the circular table which really annoyed me as well as being made out of glass which shows the dirt clearly.

Similarly I found myself scrubbing the kitchen floors until I was ready to drop off to sleep. I was on my hands and knees scrubbing like Cinderella, except for fun as nobody forced me too.

I only managed to half the floor in an hour as it was that dirty, I made the cream floor, change from browny-grey to cream again, and that was a sense of achievement, which does sound odd I know.

Moans of the day! It's all about trust...

TRUST


1. People touching your belongings- I don't know whether it is just me but I cant stand the idea of other people touching any of my things...its not that I don't like sharing as I do share when it is appropriate. I think it is the thought of my stuff going missing or being broken...and this would mean I would consider hating the person who did this to my personal stuff. If I am going somewhere new or somewhere overnight, I struggle to leave my personal belongings anywhere but close to me. I don't know whether I am a freak with weird OCD's or whether other people have issues of trusting people and the human race in this strange and theft riddled world.


2. Alarm Clocks - I know this will as usual sound odd and bizarre but I do not trust alarm clocks in all different shapes and forms. You never know if they are going to come through with there side of the bargain and wake you up when you told them to. So many things can change in the night... accidentally hitting it away and knocking it off, not hearing it, if it is powered by electricity and the power goes off, the clock in the wrong time and the alarm will not go off at the specified time. Mobiles...how loud will be? Did I change my profile? Will I just knock it off and not snooze. They are hard to trust..you can miss exams and work important meetings


3. Paying restaurant bills - It is always a dodgy territory between friends when you need to pay the bill. Either you split it equally and people moan as they don't owe as much as you..or you pay what you owe individually. When you do the latter, there is always an odd number of money and sometimes people don't pay what they should be..let alone leave a tip. If there is too much money then down there how do you calculate the change.


These are the problems that affect my everyday life..tedious but true. How about you? What gets you in a huff?

Moan of the day: Not as clear as it seems.

I was intent of cleaning the car today, however I did not think of the stress it would cause. I hoovered the inside of the car and tidied out all the junk and old papers, then it was time to clean the windows. 
It was the MOST ANNOYING thing that has happened this week. I had to clean them on the inside and the outside but it was more a case of moving the dirt around. 
The problem is that no matter how much you scrub and it looks clean, when the window dries, it maintains smudges and uneven drying.
IT HURTS MY OCD, and hurts me on the inside to see the smudges.
