Doing chores is very similar to having OCD:

This afternoon, after my nap, I went again to the kitchen to see if I could find the little pots I need for my pesto. I could not find them and I woner if the basil can wait until Wednesday when Anita will tell me where they are. That is, if she hasn´t thrown them away. Fortunatly I found one of the dozen or so so I can show it to her and ask her where she placed them. But while I was looking, I discovered that the shelf where I put the coffee and the tea was absolutly full of things. So I took everything out. I found out that, as she hides things, I had bought tea bags several times. I may have tea for 3 ot 4 months. I also found out the there were a couple of empty ice cream pots (I recycle them) full of spices. I hace 2 shelves and an over the counter place for spices and other such things (like dry mushrooms for instance). If they are with the coffee I will buy more. I NEED to have everything where I have had them for over 20 years. If not, my whole life is destroyed. The more we age the more we need a routine for some things so that we can use our few gray cells in more interesting things. And while I was looking for the containers for pesto I also found out that Anita had NOT cleaned the kitcheb hood. And it is greasy. Those are exactly the things I wast her to do. I don´t pay her to cook. I do the cooking. Friends, this is a rant
