Saturday Cleaning

Saturday was my official start of my vacation. How did I spend it? I went shopping and I couldn't have picked a better timing. It was Saturday, another weekend closer to Christmas and people have money to spend. The malls were packed. In normal circumstances, I would've backed down and hid myself in bookstores where it only gets packed before school term starts. But I had an agenda and I was pretty upbeat because I was on vacation. I had time on my hands.

After a successful 2 hour shopping, I got some Italian take-out and went home. Spending time with the dogs are fun, but I needed to get productive and maximize my day. With new clothes on tow, I needed an organized closet to put it.  With the new, the old ones that I don't find use for must go out. So, I cleaned my closet and de-cluttered my room. I started at 8 pm and finished at 12 am.

I am not normally messy. I have very few things in my possession to make a mess of. And I don't keep stuff that I don't need. Sentimentality is weak in me. 

But sometimes, for some weird reason brought by time and impulsiveness, my closet will look like a pile of shit. I could manage for some time until I bring in new clothes that this urge to submerge myself in actual cleaning takes place. I didn't know what had gotten into me. I would not normally clean after I went shopping, that's just too much physical effort. I guess, this is just a one-time thing, when you're too happy and too energized. 

Nailed this mess

de-cluttering

After fixing this mess and discarding clothes that I don't need, I felt productive. I wouldn't have done this when I was still at work. I'd be too tired and miserable to subject myself to additional stress. But thanks to happy vibes, my closet is now squeaky clean and organized with more space. 

My next project is my bookshelf, but that's reserved for another day. Who says a vacation couldn't be productive?
