I will be the first to admit it. My house is not always ‘perfect’. Far from it in fact. It’s definitely a work in progress and I admire those friends with places that always look gorgeous. Or even neat.

But I am organized. Even if things are in chaos, you can bet I know where things are. And when things have a place they’re usually there. If I manage to put them away. what I mean is, my pots and pans cupboard, for example, it’s organized, and everything has it’s spot. This is a particular one for me, and if it’s out of order I rearrange it (and warn roommates that I’m like that).

But it extends beyond that and even though my bedroom’s in a bit of a disarray right now I still know where things are and certain things have their space.

So it’s weird because things are ‘off’. I’ve not been broken into again, when I got home the doors were locked, the sliding door too, my cat wasn’t freaked out and all my valuables were in exactly the same spot. But there’s a huge dent in the floor that wasn’t there this morning, the bathroom’s dirty where it wasn’t this morning, my scale wasn’t in the right spot and things just feel ‘off’.

What I suppose went on is that my building manager, who’d asked me for permission to enter the suite on Friday, probably came today instead and forgot to call. There’s been a leak in my toilet and I suspect it wasn’t fully repaired the first time.

But it all feels weird. I think after my dance class tomorrow I’ll have to give the place a good clean so that it feels ‘normal’ again…

How odd…
