What I look forward to during the weekends is that I can
finally have time to do chores around the house. This is one downside of having
a job that is strictly the so-called 9-5 job (well mine’s 8:30 to 5:30) is that
majority of the day is spent in the office. Unlike those with home-based jobs,
they can do housework or anything in between because their office is just at
the comfort of their own houses.
How about doing chores after work? Well, sometimes I’m just
too tired to do any housework when I go home from work. But sometimes when I
still have energy, I do the laundry at night before I go to sleep. However, it
is during Saturdays that I have enough time to do anything that needs to be
done. Like this particular weekend. Mr. A and I finally had the chance to clean
our room because Perdita is not around. She’s spending a 2-week vacation at my
parents’ house so that gives us the perfect chance to clean. Trust me when I
say that it’s hard to clean the house if a cat is around. Cats are really
curious by nature. And I don’t want Perdita to get vacuumed again like what
happened last time. Whew!
I woke up at around 6 in the morning but got out of bed
around 8, did 15 minutes of hula hooping before grabbing the new broom and
dustpan that Mr. A and I bought last week. And OMG! I never realized our room
was THAT DIRTY! I guess that’s what happens when one owns a Persian Cat – FUR EVERYWHERE!
It took us around 30 minutes of sweeping and dusting before we could declare
our room as clean. Haha. Though I’m not complaining. We love Perdita! And her
fur is definitely part of the package.
Aside from sweeping, I finally had the chance to arrange our
vanity table. This photo is actually the AFTER photo. I took a BEFORE photo before
arranging everything but nah, it’s too embarrassing to show. Okay the things on
the table are still not that super arranged but it’s way better than what it
was before I did a few arrangements.
Mr. A and I also segregated a few things and threw out a lot
of boxes that were just lying around our room. After cleaning, it looks like
our room just got a bit bigger. No more useless boxes lying around the floor.
It’s really good to allot a bit of time for cleaning despite any busy schedule.
It’s also good for health reasons. Hey, who wants to sleep in a dirty room, eh?
