How do you deal with game-watching nerves/stress? I clean. Non-stop scrubbing, straightening, sweeping, dusting…as long as it’s in sight of the tv, of course.

When there’s nothing left to clean, I pace.

I watched the OSU game from an airbnb, where I was having a reunion with some friends for the weekend. I had to go searching for a broom.

In the second quarter of Holy War when we weren’t looking good, my daughter texted, “well are you cleaning enough???”

After the game I had four different friends text to ask just how sparkling my house was. I purposefully leave jobs undone until game time. Do normal people just sit and watch?
