Honestly, this conversation is over.
Why, Miranda, why?
Because it’s my room and I’ll keep it whatever way I wish.
But Auntie Helga will be staying in your room while she visits.
And, your point?
Well, Auntie needs space to do her scrapbooking. You know how much she enjoys her hobby. She needs space.
If I tidy up, I’ll never find my stuff again. I’m a writer; we need our itty bits of paper, post-its, and books to complete our stories. Besides, Aunt Helga will only be here a week.
I guess you’re right. Okay, let’s watch a movie.

Stick to your guns, Miranda. Just keep an eagle eye out for your auntie. I suspect she may be capable of tossing all your bits and pieces in the trash to make room for all her own bits and pieces!

I think Miranda seems like a strongly opinionated young lady. She’ll be keeping Auntie in line. lol Thank you, Linda. I’m glad you chimed in.

Querida Isadora,
I relate to Miranda. My room is my room. I don’t clean it for company. It is what it is. If you don’t like it, don’t enter. 😉 I’d say Auntie can live without her scrapbooking for a week. 😉 Bien escrito mi amiga.
Shalom y abrazos,
Rochelle

Querida Rochelle,
I believe everyone should have their own space and keep it in whatever way they choose. Hopefully, Auntie doesn’t try to rearrange anything. I think a guest room would help that, for sure. 😀 I’m glad you enjoyed this lil tid bit os a story, mi amiga.
Gracias … Abrazos y Carino,
Isadora 😎

I must admit, I don’t like to see anyone sitting at my writing space or in my woman/cave. We all need our private space. Thanks … 😎

Auntie Helga can do her scrapbooking at home. Miranda’s mom has a good solution.

I have a she cave/office which is the only area that isn’t tidy in my home. But, don’t ask my hubby he’d say it’s tidy too. LOL
