You know it's time to clean the house...

...when you've been sitting at the computer for nearly twelve hours straight, you've worked on your novel, two book proposals (for imaginary books), and your rock opera, and the cats have all but given up trying to get your attention, and it's still not even nine o'clock!

very well then. I shall stand, I shall stretch, and I shall clean.

maybe after that my heroine will get over her funk.
