I also have to be 'in the mood' for certain aspects of quilting. Some days I'm on a roll and don't want any interruptions and other days it's much better if I just leave it alone as if I try to do anything it will have to be done over.
So if today is a leave it alone day, get all those non quilting things done and out of the way so tomorrow you can do your quilt without those other things that needed to be done hanging over your shoulder.
