The GREAT SPRING CLEANING DEBATE
Animated Flower Power Divider



Spring is here, and that means one thing for sure: Mother Nature has gone all hormonal on us. One minute we are basking in 70 delightful degrees with clear sunny skies, and the next day it is 30 degrees and the winds of fury have picked up all the sandy soil and are doing a fine rendition of the 1930's Dust Bowl.  Open in new Window. To say my asthmatic lungs don't appreciate this particular seasonal mood swing is the understatement of the year.

Basking in sunshine or dodging clouds of sand dust, springtime also brings on that inevitable yearning for spring cleaning. This need is deeply ingrained in our species. The great debatable question is this: is spring cleaning fever stronger than my deep-seated desire to avoid any sort of spring cleaning?

If you live in a place for any length of time like I have (25 years in my current home), clutter can get to be a real problem. Add to that challenge the sets of aging parents who want to give you all their stuff from their homes, the clutter can really get out of control. Every time I go home to visit my mom, she sends me home with more things, despite my protests. Not to worry, though. I will unashamedly pass along this particular generational trauma.

So, I have work to do. I have piles that I trip over, boxes that are in the way, closets that are full-to-bursting. If I open a door or drawer and my first instinct is to slam it shut again, that is an indication that it is time to pull everything out and get rid of most of it.

Spring cleaning fever is currently waging a mighty war against my spring cleaning procrastination. Which side will win? If you know me well, you already know.

BIG BAD WOLF is Merry
Try being the guy that wants discount Halloween candy, only to be forced to make due with new Christmas ones instead.

That has happen to me as well! It is criminal.



oldgreywolf on wheels
Wear carmine on St Pat's Day. That way their blood spatter won't show.

That is such practical advice.
