Orderly.
Whenever anything bad happens that I can't control I usually go and lay on my bed for a while, or stare blankly at the computer not really wanting to do anything...just sitting at the desk because it's familiar and comforting. Then I clean. I iron clothes, straighten my room or scrub the bathroom. It's just the natural response for some reason. I occupy myself with something simple that doesn't require me to be in a stable state of mind. It also serves to keep me from wallowing and thinking too much.
Yeah, I just did a ton of ironing.
