Stashis Organizationus

Stashis Organizationus

Not, deadly, but there are severe side effects related to this bug...BEWARE!
At the onset of S.O. I began to feel shaky, as if I needed to move, move about my home looking for something, but I didn't know what it was I was supposed to look for, I began to get confused, I was alone, I was scared.....
Lonnie My MM (it's obvious to me, and I'm sure any reader that I suck at using these code names, maybe I need to come up with a better one for Lonnie my Music Man, because, franky, I think Music Man sounds hinky!) came home and took note of my erratic behavior. He asked if I were okay, or .... so he told me because I have no memory of this.......delirium resulting from this bug had set in!!!




Mind you, I have no recollection of this, but I was told by my MM that I got in the van and drove to Big Lots (best place around for cheap storage containers!) and came home with 3 more storage boxes (35 qt boxes).




During the delirium nothing goes on other than the organization of yarn...no cleaning and organizing of closets or drawers and cabinets in the kitchen...just yarn.




This bug is specific to a certain area, much like the bugs that centralize in the respiratory or intestinal system...this bug centralizes on yarn, nothing but yarn and it MUST be organized, if not, the shakes and loss of memory continue.




I know this because I was told by MM (thus the continued loss of memory) that I tried not to organize, I'm sure this comes from my natural aversion to all things that have to do with household duties!



Anyway, he told me that I tried to kick back and watch a movie with him, but I was shaking as if I had severe chills from a high fever.



Well, I did have a fever, one that would not go away until the deed was done!




Apparently, I then got said deed done, and .... I took pictures, who knew?!



OH, on a side note, apparently this bug is very yarn specific, because I didn't touch any of the Woolease and a few other acrylic blends that I still have from when I began to knit and thought that yarn was the Cat's Pajamas.
WHAT?! MY CAT DON'T WEAR NO PAJAMAS!!



This yarn continues to reside in the cabinet and drawer of the entertainment center in the bedroom, but....it's not being squished by lots of other yarns that now live happily under the bed!
If ya gotta get a bug, I'm thinking this is the one to get! I was quite happy when I got up this morning and saw all of this. Although, I'm not real pleaseD with the loss of memory side effect, man, that's spooky! Not only is my yarn now organized, when I went through the nicely packed boxes (all 7 of them that I pulled out from under my bed, nicely hidden!) I found yarn that I had forgetten that I had. For example, I thought that I had 6 skeins of Lamb's Pride...I have 16!
And, boy, I also have plans, baby, plans....I could knit for a long time with this yarn, but, you know what?! I have a feeling that I am going to continue to acquire yarn and need more boxes for future bouts of Stashis Organizationus.

You are agreat storyteller--and I am wanting to catch that bug, because my stash could use some reorganizing. And maybe that memory loss is a gift--otherwise you might not want to buy more (to organize)!
