Yellowrose-I can relate.  I live with a total neatnik who always has a "project".  That is way to avoid what is in his head.  I can't complain because I haven't done a load of laundry in years.  Mostly because he has a load going every morning before I am even out of bed.  I would like to end that question of "why is the spoon in the sink"....uhm maybe because it was used to eat with!
