Quirky rituals

I can NOT sleep in an unmade bed. Also, if I think of something that I should have done - even if it's only for a half second, like a very fleeting thought - I won't be able to get to sleep until I get up and do it. It's very Joan Collins-esque, I suppose, but I've been known to get up out of bed all pissed off and mad at myself and go scrub the bathroom. I'm totally powerless against it, too. GRRRRR!!!!

You people who count things are freaky.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just realized that I do another one this morning: If I haven't worn a pair of shoes in a while, I have to stick something down into the toe and root around to make sure there isn't a Black Widow Spider in there (I saw a documentary about them once and they really will nest in unused shoes).

But here's the thing - I have to do it like five or six times before I'm fully convinced that there's no Black Widow in there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
