My sleeping pattern has been way off for a while now. I would fall asleep past midnight and I can say that the astro being in the room is highly contributing to this. I had a conversation with one of the ladies here about sleep and she mentioned how she is pretty disciplined in her sleep timings. She would already be off to dreamland by 9.30pm. My mind was blown away! How? She said that she would switch off the tv at a certain time and then she would doze off. I wish I could do that! My husband and I, we both need that in our lives. I think if we were to have enough sleep, we both would be more energised in the mornings, more fit to go through about our daily lives and maybe would even get stressed less.
So I will try to put that to the test....obviously won't start tonight as it is almost midnight and here I am on Pinterest, browsing through ikea, blogging, watching Second Chance on Fox & at the same time wondering what our plans are for tomorrow. I've mentioned to my husband that I'd like to go out after we finish cleaning up. laughs... Cleaning up is definitely hard in our household. We have ALOT of stuff that needs to be organised. We have the boxes, we have the labels, we have the time, but what we don't have is the motivation to actually get everything done pronto. Okay, so maybe that's another thing that needs to be put to test. Thanks to the New Year holidays, my husband will be free from work till Tuesday so we have three more days to attempt to finish cleaning up the house! I must say we did a good job today. We've cleaned up the master bedroom and bathroom! *good job R&L!*
Thanks to this pin on Pinterest, I actually managed to make my own Swiffer pads! I have always been a fan of Swiffer products ever since i first laid eyes on it while going through Giant in the US. I never did like to do household chores, especially mopping! So when my husband and I got our first Swiffer Wet Jet for our little apartment in DC, I got abit rajin. a. bit. LOL. We even bought some extras when we did our last minute shoppings before going back to Brunei for good. I had a joke with some of friends on one of my last days in DC while we were having one of my farewell lunches, that they have to now become Swiffer agents and have to ship them back to Brunei for me...at that time, I was very serious! When we got to KL for our next posting, I was happy to find a similar product since I left my Swiffer back in Brunei. After using them a few times, I was disappointed that it was not as good as the Swiffer. So I eventually stopped using it and went back to the conventional mop & pail. Boo! That was until I saw the pin a few days ago and today I finally decided to give it a go! I had all the requirements!
- White vinegar - check
- Distilled water - check
- Cloths - check
- Ziplock bag - check!
I am happy to say that I have found a somewhat slightly similar version of the Swiffer Sweeper wet pads! Woot! They work so well too..and I can just wash the cloths and re-use them!
So now I can try to tackle the very hard to do tiles in the living room tomorrow! Here's what we actually have to finish within the next three days :
- Clean up the cats' room
- Laundry (Stacks and stacks of it!)
- Ironing
- Throw out all the rubbish
- Clean up the mini office room downstairs and maybe try convert it into the new cats' room. Atleast it's air-conditioned. We'll see....
- Divide all the stuff that we no longer wear / use into the donate or throw boxes.
- Clean the carpets
- Send some stuff for dry cleaning
- Clean the area by the pool
Overambitious? I think so! I had to stop typing down more because I got a little overwhelmed! LOL!
It's basically tomorrow now.. today? Anyways! Gonna attempt to get some sleep now and pray that I won't have nightmares about cleaning up the house again.
