Playful Friday [13]:

 

You might be a Preserver if…

 

Your kitchen cupboards are organised by category, expiry date, and a backup system for the backup system.

 

You've said "just in case" more times today than most people say it in a week.

 

You go to the supermarket for three things and come back with seventeen, because you might need them.

 

You have a running list of everything that needs fixing in the house, another list of who can fix it, and a third list of when you last checked the first two lists.

 

You don't like talking about money. You just quietly make sure there's enough of it.

 

Your home is your castle. Unannounced visitors are technically an invasion.

 

You've already thought about what you'd do if the heating breaks, the car breaks down, and the Wi-Fi goes out — ideally all at once.

 

"Spontaneous weekend away" is not a holiday. It's a stress test.

 

The Preserving instinct is not about being boring or anxious. It's about making sure the foundation is solid so everything else can actually work.

Preservers are the people who keep things running quietly in the background — and usually nobody notices until they stop.
