Fighting the Compulsion to Clean
February 26th, 2009
Ever since I learned how to use a broom, a vacuum cleaner and a feather duster, I kicked into the habit of rearranging our home furniture. I had lost count of the times I have moved a sofa or heavy TV cabinet and drawers all by myself because I easily get tired of seeing things in the same place for a long time. Now that I have my own family and we’re renting our own place, it has gotten worse. I recall having to move the furniture about at least once a month. Hee. Thankfully, light fixtures in the apartment are well, fixtures. Otherwise, I can imagine our landlord wreaking havoc over his chandeliers or ceiling light fixtures moved in different places.
But these days, with my limited physical movements, I sorely miss cleaning and rearranging the apartment. I dare not invite friends to come over because there’s just too much chaos going on. No thanks to our growing toddler, who sweeps all her toys and books in a breeze and like a hurricane, you’ll find all of her stuff on the floor, the laundry room, bathroom and practically every where else!
