AFFOGATO

 Going to the mall just slaps you with the reality that your house is a mess. As much as you love to buy a new, modern dining table which will double as a work desk and in your mind would complete the dream office setting but NO. Like where exactly do you intend to place that? and is it childproof? Everything now should be thought out very carefully. 

No book on decluttering will ever help you declutter if you don't put in some elbow grease. How many ebooks and audiobooks do I have on decluttering anyway, how many tv shows and vlogs? You get some ideas here and there but in the end you do it your way with old housekeeping skills you have watched people around you do. Good thing I grew up in that era but still I suffer from wanting everything clean and not able to do anything about it because of dust, pets and now a baby. 

It weighs heavily on my mind the daily chores that I ignore and if I get them done it makes me angry that I have to do it all over again in a few days or so. Ok, let's enumerate, just to get it out of my chest.

1. Doing the dishes, even though we don't cook much.

2. Kitchen clutter, cleaning the floors.

3. The laundry but this is still manageable.

4. Washing the balconies, plural there's three floors of it.

5. Cleaning the cat den with the cat litter, this is a real challenge.

6. Folding and ironing the clothes and arranging them.

7. ...

I stop now am starting to get a headache.
