My frustration - THE MESS !

This is what I’m usually frustrated with. Clearing mess left behind by x3 people. Then repeat tidying up again n again. Ok make it tidy up after 4 people coz I also need to tidy right? 

This is the mess left behind by che-che on Monday (11th Aug - yup! Another late posting) night. It was her WFH day so after work she did her relaxation. TV remote control and food clip on sofa, gaming remote control on table, snacks messy on table.  

Why can’t they put back whatever they took item from to where it belongs? I tidy and next person comes and someone else will leave the TV remote control on sofa again. 

This is only one part of the house. 

I walk to the master toilet which we mainly use and there are other mess I often have to deal with. Combs left on sink top, hair on the sink and floor, water droplets on mirror, front part of vanity top and floor, water ponding at the back part of the vanity top (I wonder if they’re washing their face or making a swimming pool?), floor mats moved into the middle of the toilet. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DRY AREA NOT WET!! 

Oh! The bomb shelter where I had to scream so many times to not mess it up. I’ve moved the bloody heavy stuffs myself so many times just to tidy it up, barely a month later the mess comes back. 

The fridge - leave opened sausage bags anyhow lying around with the liquid seeping onto the fridge tray. Leave things around until I don’t even know if I should be tidying and cleaning the fridge coz some people will mess it up again. AND they don’t seem to be bothered that some liquid had dirtied the next thing they took out, could be a drink they want. They simply just wash for eg. that packet of Milo, then what about the fridge? The rest of the area? 

Every day I’m just repeating the same chore to tidy up after them. I was watching those Japanese minimalist or cleaning videos, and they gave advice on how :

1. Usugi cleaning 

2. Mondainai 

3. Keizoku 

4. 9 Danshari Rules to Free Up 80% of Your Space

5. Danshari techniques cleaning 

* no time to link videos to blog. 

ps. I can’t practice those coz the other 3 don’t even declutter or do their part. The best solution for me is to throw all 3 of them away 😂

Mind you I’ve only typed about the mess they leave behind everywhere. If I don’t tidy, the mess will be the same until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or longer. And they don’t get eye-sore leh….I cannot tahan lah! Haha! Just like I cannot understand why last time some passengers can mess the area around their seats, I really end up tidying up the space around them. Maybe that was a premonition I was going to be a particular wife and mother in the future. 

Cleaning the house and cooking (tho I don’t cook daily) is another job that I’m supposed to do as a SAHM/homemaker. I’m the only person tidying and checking the pantry, medications. I won’t go into details what needs to be cleaned in the house, yard and balcony as I believe I would have mentioned somewhere sometime in my blog before. 

Most times I want to go to the gym to exercise but I’m already so tired. I had the idea to exercise at least twice in the gym apart from my Fight-Do class COZ I ALSO NEED TO KEEP MYSELF FIT!!! Doing all these works I also sianz liao, just want to nuah in one corner when I can. But I really need to work out more, I need to take care of my body since I’m in perimenopausal age. Also worried about whatever darn illness I may have. 

What do I say, I’m frustrated! I’m exhausted like crazy! Kindda reminds me of CB days where I was so busy from the time I wake up till I crawl to bed at 9+ 10 after my last shower. 

My work is at home so while everyone relaxes WHILE I HAVE TO WORK. It’s so bloody unfair right? People who work only work during office hours and then come home to rest. My work is neverending. I’m not a robot, I’m feeling so exhausted all the time. Tidying up the mess is really everyone’s job. If everyone else helps to put back things properly, it would have saved me the time to do all the double triple unproductive stupid works.

I ever wondered WHAT IF ONE DAY I DIE? The house will be so messy (then again the piggies family might be able to tahan the mess & dirty sight), the house will be so dirty. Did I mention before the dirts I spotted the moment I returned from all my holidays? Kitchen sink is dirty (I wash my sink daily), stove is dirty coz they cook but they don’t clean, so if stove is dirty do you think anyone will clean the kitchen top and wall?, toilet shower area wall and floor is yucky slimy dirty, toilet sink grouting is black! My floor grout is dirty! Mirror is dirty and the list can go on. 

The only time left for me in the night, I’m already so tired my legs are tired, I look damn shagged. I can’t even decide what I want to do. A lot of times I want to do both - a facial and a leg, thigh, feet massage but I end up only able to do one thing each time. I end up dozing off on the bed with my mask until they’re all dried up OR I end up dozing off while the leg massager thing help me unknot the muscles tension / sore. Problem is I only have one massager so I gotta move it from thigh to calf (x2 legs) to feet. I would love a massage chair, I will sleep in it for sure. That always happens when I sit on those massage chairs in shopping malls after doing my grocery shopping, packing lunch with only 20mins to spare before I need to leave to pick lil’ one up. 

Most times it’s relaxation music like this will help me relax for the tired day. Recharge my mental and physical battery and embrace the aftermath of warzone the next day.
