"Spring" Cleaning

It is the lunar new year, and that marks the dawn of "Spring," though technically it really isn't spring just yet. Today, I spent the entire day just cleaning out my room and cleaning the house. After the dust-fiasco yesterday with the lamp leaves, I finally got Kamla's help in removing the center piece and washed that out as well. Now, my room shines brightly as it should, and everything is well lit.

I believe my allergies are acting up again with all the dust that I stirred up, but it was good to clean it all out. I wiped everything down, and cleaned up the thick layers of dust that was everywhere. In some ways, I feel bad that my landlord had witnessed the poor state of my room. I've just been such a mess lately. Clothes everywhere, unkempt bed, socks on the floor, it was not a pretty sight. Our living room was just overflowing with snacks every where, and our fridge was festering some kind of mold from all the spoiled foods we kept in there. Today was indeed a day where we just cleaned out everything and wiped everything down. It's a good start to a new "term" of work. I'm glad, and feel rather accomplished, though I'm a little worn for wear.

I did 2 loads of laundry just to wash out all the dirty clothes I've managed to accumulate. I'm beginning to pack up a small box of things that were intended for my parents that I should send home. I am still stressing how I will get my stack of DVDs home, but oh well, I'll cross that bridge as I come to it. The house is spic and span now, the floors are clean, dust-less/hair-less, and the toilet is also sanitary once again. Heh heh. Our pantry shelves are completely organized now, and the fridge is now empty enough to use once again. The tupperware is clean (free of festering food), and all the trash has been removed. It feels good to be on the right track.
