Can a House Suffer from PMS?

If I were to imagine my house as a typical woman I would find her to suffer from PMS like clockwork.

For a few weeks a month she is collected, organized and comfortable. She's slightly unkept here and there but it's nothing she can't handle. She does have a few runs in her stocking (ie. the master bedroom and garage where all the homeless junk piles up.) But for the most part her face is nice and her appearance is somewhat clean.

But then there is the time of the month when she totally looses it. (like now) Dirty laundry flows from every room mixing in with the clean laundry and other crap on the floor, every flat surface has a collection of wadded paper, dirty dishes, old bills empty pop cans, broken toys and various other garbage. Dishes pile up out of the sink and spread out over the counter. etc, etc... She's completely exhausted, worn down and a chaotic mess. Can we use the term manic for a house? It doesn't last forever, just about a week. Then things roll around again to the semi collected state that they should be. Trash gets removed, laundry gets organized, toys get picked up, homeless items get piled in the master bedroom and the dishes get done. My poor house suffers from PMS can I get her a pill?

That's ok, my house is bi-polar. Completely depressed most of the time, too tired to clean herself up and not caring what she looks like anyway. Once in a while throw in a manic phase and she'll straighten herself up for a few days and then fall down the slippery slope of depression all over again.
