Thursday, September 24th, 2009 07:37 amBro and Pard have finally moved out. It's a good feeling, having my house back to myself again. Being able to have the whole house clean, being able to have a clean kitchen and clean dishes; and knowing that they will stay relatively clean unless I make them dirty. Being able to use the bottom shelf in the fridge again.
I think they tried hard to keep things clean and not to be a bother to me. But obviously I'm more finicky about cleanliness and neatness than them.
That's one of the benefits of having my own place; being able to keep it as clean and uncluttered as I want. At Forestfen's, I had no control over the clutter because it wasn't my stuff.
Qiao did something nice for me yesterday, but I reacted badly to it. I wish I had been more gracious. Last week, I had exclaimed to Qiao that Bro and Pard had used all my plastic food containers. So Qiao bought me a big box of tupperware of different shapes and sizes... but my immediate reaction was consternation, thinking that I didn't need *that* many containers, and thinking that it would fill up and clutter my cupboards. That's sort of an issue with me. I don't want my house to end up looking like Forestfen's did. I like having some free space in the cabinets and closets; not having everything totally full. I like the house to feel open and airy, not full of too much furniture and stuff.
