According to reports (don’t ask me from where and who), people’s mood generally falls to the lowest point in end January/ early February period. Cos after all the highs from the year-end festive season, this is when the jolly mood has well passed and credit card bills racked up start coming in.

I reckon there is another major reason for the mild depression — it’s called spring cleaning.

I procrastinate till I could put it off no more cos of the imminent return of empress. I know there will be another round of spring cleaning when mom is back, but nonetheless the first round has to be done.

Dave took care of the fans while I settle the floor.

I threw out a whole bunch of things from my room so I was already pretty bushed even before I started vacuuming. Then when I discovered the mop was broken, I almost died.

Not wanting to go out and buy a new mop and face the world in my sweaty housewife look, I forced myself to use the broken mop. The whole time I was mopping I spoke ever so gently to the mop “Be good ah… don’t break hor… tahan till I’m done ok!!”

And it did.

Tho some parts I had to bend down and hold on the the mop itself cos the stick just doesn’t hold the mop anymore.

What a killer. What a workout.
