Other Obsessions

Since I'm sharing my obsessions, I thought I would mention a few of the non-knitting related ones.

The Germs
I'm definitely a bit obsessive about the germs. My oldest son describes me as a "germaphobe", but I don't think I'm THAT bad. I think my desire for cleanliness is perfectly normal. I think my hesitation to eat other people's food, unless I really KNOW the person and know that their kitchen is clean, is perfectly normal too; however, that is precisely why the OS thinks I'm a "germaphobe".

The Horrible Thoughts
I don't have a lot of horrible thoughts; however, I do spend a lot of time worrying about the little things. I mostly worry about things that are out of my control. I know that it doesn't make sense to worry about those things for that EXACT reason, but I still do.

The Guilt
I sometimes obsess over guilty feelings that do not always make sense.

For example, I've been feeling guilty about the blog. I don't know if you've noticed this, but I've been posting blog entries more frequently. Or so it would seem. Actually, I just finally identified that I'm only able, or maybe it's that I'm only willing, to write on certain days of the week. Sunday is a good day for me to write. So, last week I decided to start taking advantage of Typepad's delayed publishing feature. I can write now and post later. And that's just what I did last week, and what I'm doing this week too.

Thing is, I've felt kind of bad about it. I have a post up every day, but it kind of feels a little like I'm cheating. I know that it's not cheating, since I own all of the words in every entry on this blog. And I know that a lot of other bloggers make use of this feature, but I still feel a little funny about it.

Is it just me? What are your obsessions? Feel free to obsess away in the comments.

I love the delayed post feature. I very often write posts in advance. Sometimes I'm knitting more than others, and it helps me keep my posts to one theme. The only problem is that sometimes it's hard to engage/respond to comments.
