It's a OCD Thang...

Get up, use bathroom, wash hands, wipe down sink after washing hands, then washing hands again to get any germs off that you might have picked up washing sink after washing hands.  Walk out of bathroom closing door behind yourself. Go to the bedroom and make bed. Gather clothes around the bed return to the bathroom and put on a load of laundry. Leave the bathroom, closing door behind you because the washer and dryer are loud and annoying.
Enter Kitchen, wipe down kitchen counters, fill kettle, wash up dishes and wipe out sink while waiting for kettle to boil(or on rare occasions-coffee to drip).... wash hands again and rinse out sink- again.
Grab favorite coffee mug, add one teaspoon instant coffee, one scoop of Coffee-Mate(No- other brands are NOT the same thing), and sometimes add one scoop of sugar. Add hot water to exactly 2/3 full and stir. Open fridge and add milk to fill mug to full. Put milk back in fridge , close fridge door, wipe counters down again, pick up full coffee mug and head to the living room.

Straighten up tabletops, gather empty chip bags and vape juice bottles and wrappings from hubby dropping them before heading out the door for work. Put everything in it's proper place in living room, gather cups and glasses and any snack plates and bring to kitchen and put in sink.
 Return to living room and dust.

Sit down, apply for jobs on the internet while drinking coffee.

Get up, transfer clothes to dryer and turn on.  Go out and close door.

Make another cup of coffee. EXACTLY the same way.

Hoover. Everything. Center of the room, edges of the room, under everything, in things.

Doing all the things.... all the day. Over and over and over.

Then going around behind anyone who comes into the house reminding them to pick up after themselves, wipe things up if they make messes and put things away- and dont forget to close the door behind you.

We know we're annoying- we annoy ourselves, but imagine what a messed up world we would live in if we wasn't so annoying - and vigilant.
