Exactly how I was. Nowadays, I just look passed it, but every now and then I get the urge to clean everything up. It can be quite scary, really. I just get into a strange state of zombified mind where I'll tune everything out, even my own thoughts, and start scrubbing away. Gotta admit, much like any form of work, it feels good to turn around when I'm done to contemplate what I have done.
But the kitchen is different. That HAS to be clean. Always.
