Weekly wrapup

G.O. Organize Score: 77 of 100

Detail the first - since this isn't an actual competition, I'm not cheating by changing the rules. And therefore, I'm throwing out the rule that some scores only count once. Because in a week where I've cleaned up 4 hairballs and recabled the modem AND discovered where a mouse had been hiding under the couch, cleaned that up, and checked that the mouse hadn't nested, a mere single two points for "as needed" is not enough to cover.

However, I'm keeping the overall "...of x" because that's a good rule of thumb if I'm letting certain areas get glossed over too often.

- Cleaning: 4 of 30 (two weeks with bad scores - need to bring this up)
- Health: 5 of 20 (again, a decent score wiped out by penalties. Another area for work)
- Hobbies: 20 of 15 (I'm counting the review I'm working on now, and I gave myself full 15 marks for putting in the BF pitch. Professional pitches should be highly rated.)
- Misc: 8 of 15 (lots of spot cleaning, if no overall cleaning)
- Big Ticket (@ 20 apiece): 40 (I'm giving myself full marks for shoveling snow, which I did Sat and Sunday. No accumulation my ass!)

A mouse? And you have cats!!

Mind you, having said that, back when I lived with my cat and my parents *I* caught a mouse running across my bedroom floor - it RAN PAST Shade's NOSE and I caught the damn thing!! Boy did I tease her endlessly about that (not that she cared, of course!)

Five cats, and two of them suck at hunting; not good when cold winters drive the mice in every year. It was right at the back of the sleeper couch, where the cats couldn't get to it, eating one of the acorns the kittens play with.

There's a reason that as I redecorate, I'm doing so with furniture that has at least 4 inches of clearance space off the ground...

Now Shade *is* a hunter, but she was just not interested that day...

Having clearance space sounds like a good idea!

I've gotten really interested in your Game On approach and am trying it myself. I did a test run 1/17 and it went fairly well, then got ignored last week due to family emergencies, so test run #2 starts today. I have high hopes for it. :)

then got ignored last week due to family emergencies

Oh dear! I hope everything's all right now.

This is more a way to impose structure on the chaos, and thus should be the first thing to hit the drain when large issues come up. And I'm also programming in at least two weeks "off" - Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to overwhelm any other plans.

Good luck! I'm glad it's working for someone!
