Musing #4 Entropy

According to scientific theory, entropy is defined as "a measure of the disorder of a system."

If "a system" is my household, then the "measure of disorder" would be high. Everything becomes disorganized despite my best efforts. Other contributing factors to disorder: my children's summer break, my husband's working from home and (OK, fine)....me. We are marinating in our little enclosed "system."

The only organized space is my "studio." (The room formally known as the guest's). My apologies, out of town loved ones, you may need to book a hotel.

My house used to be a study of immaculateness and organization. Tidy, everything in its place, a suburban dream. I marvel at my past efforts. How did I do that? I guess I was just going through the motions. My life is much more relaxed and enriched though a bit more visually chaotic.

I must admit that the this higher level of entropy is annoying to me. I've got to get organized before school begins.


I'll begin tomorrow.....

Oh, I guess I was wrong. I don't have to have a Google email address to post a comment. First of all, I'm not staying in a hotel. As long as there is room for me to lay my head and pitch a suitcase, then there's room for me. I'm glad your house is a little more chaotic if your soul is a little more settled. That, my friend, is moving in the right direction. Just don't forget about the rest of us. Call me!
