Done!

I was so tempted to procrastinate the cleaning and tidying but if I don’t do so, who will do it? Just so fed up when it seems like I’m the only person living in this house. Girls don’t even know where certain items are placed in the house 🤨. My favourite phrase when I tell friends how my house is kept a little tidier is “I’m a magician. Leave plates on the table, suddenly it disappears. Leave cups in the sink, suddenly it disappears. Dirty clothes become neatly pressed clothes.” 🧙🪄

Decided to throw out all the soil and fertilizers they didn’t seem to be useable. Should have just cleared out the same time we cleared the cabinet. I let out a loud scream when I saw a teeny lizzie. I was smart enough to use the broom to smack the items on the floor and indeed the baby popped its head out, as dramatic as ever I screamed. Che-che who was on the phone at that time in lil’ one’s room closed the window 😬. 

Will I be buying new soil and pellets and fertilisers? Yes, I need to buy new fertilisers especially for my adeniums, my ang ang huey. I’ll probably not buy anymore soil or pellets anymore or small pots coz my sunflowers 🌻 attempts were futile for the last 5x. As much as I’d like to plant the new flower seeds I bought, I honestly feel I don’t have the energy to do that now. I should set my priority to stay indoor now 🤭 and only step out in my PES in the night to water my plants. 

Bought a new scrub in October (so this job in tidying the PES has been an ongoing thoughts) coz I can’t find the handheld scrubber!!!! Anyway, I feel age is catching up with the backaches, that I decided to get one with a longer stick so I didn’t have to squat down, stand up n feel giddy, squat down. It’s no joke! The last time I did this kind of massive scrub, I only did the area near the small gate to the water feature and I was screaming internally for help. Was under the hot sun. 

Is this a good purchase? I can’t get back the clean clean floor as we used to have 10 years ago. It did help in some ways but I found myself with another kind of backache with shoulder pain. I had to hold on to the stick coz the 1500RPM brush was trying to “run away” if you know what I mean. It’s as if I was holding onto my dear life to a scrubber pole in a Signal 8 typhoon. I lessen the energy used to scrub the floor with a hard bristle broom but instead used up my energy to hold onto the stick. 😆 equally tiring and backbreaking. 

Actually I do like it bare there. Or maybe I shouldn’t put the cabinet there anymore? Less thing to worry about 🦎everytime I open the cabinet to get the fertilizer. 

Urgh! The ugly grout lines and dirty tiles
