August 21st, 2009Cleaning therapy
I like to keep myself busy so that I don’t have time to think. I’ve been staying at home since Monday and now I have too much time on my hands. This means that I have more time to think. I hate this feeling.
Everyone says that sick people should just stay in bed and rest but I’ve already slept for 10 hours and if I sleep any longer, I’ll go crazy.
I’m not that sick anyway. It’s just an infection. I’ve just taken my medicine and unlike yesterday, I don’t feel drowsy at all today. I’m wide awake and feeling very alert.
I’ve decided to clean my room today. Someone once told me that I always seem to be cleaning my room. Whenever I clean my room, it takes me a couple of hours and the results are great. Somehow I always have bags of trash to throw away after I’m done. Within 2 weeks, chaos reign supreme yet again. I guess that my room kinda reflects the way my life is right now. I love that feeling I get when I’m cleaning. Cleaning is my outlet for stress. Everyday cleaning can be drudgery but cleaning whenever I have to deal with strong emotions… well, that feels good. ![]()

I have already opened some of the boxes which I had previously stored away in a corner. I know that there is no point in holding on to things which are full of bad memories. Scraps of paper where I’ve jotted down my thoughts, old letters, old postcards, clothes that I no longer wear etc. Everything must go.




Burn ‘em! Unleash your inner pyromaniac! Or morph into Storm (X-Men) and let the lightning do the job.
Or get a bunch of paper eating hamsters to eat ev……*nihahaha* (Hamsters Army FTW!)
Hey, go back to bed. You need to rest. *beaming healing hug to you* Be well. Live Long and Prosper. Blessed be your hair.
Quote?I like to clean up my room on a monthly basis as well. I like the feeling of having a tidy and neat room. Hee! By the way, do you have a walk-in closet? It looks like one from the photo above.
Quote?bien en l’ordre
Quote?I propose the same solution as Fadil: FIRE!
Yeps, do take care. You can have enough rest until you are like 70% fit.
Quote?good to see you are recovering well!

I had the same infection as you seem to have a couple of weeks ago. Took about ten days to clear… Good luck!

Welcome to the club
I love cleaning my room, going out through stuffs and throwing them out xD Though it’s usually back to the organised messiness that it was before cleaning in less than a week. But really, cleaning therapy works =)
Quote?i have the same too whenever i decide to clean up my room..as if its a fresher start for me..haha..lol
Quote?btw, yeah they do have steaks burger over here..haha..but its good to know which places to head to as not all of them might taste as expected..lol
like for exmaple, u might end up with a chewy steak which is tough on the teeth..lol,speaking of encountered experiences here:P
anyhow, hope you get well soon:)
i only say that i love cleaning after cleaning
! My room is a mess actually, don’t have the courage to clean
, hope you get well soon.
Quote?Well,i like cleaning up my room too,once in a while.

get well soon
Quote?When I was down with H1N1 last month, I was soooo bored at home as well that I decided to clean my room. (Like you.) Somehow, the ‘wanting to clean’ instinct always seem to set in at times where we are supposed to have the most rest, huh?
Meanwhile, you get well soon!
Quote?It’s good that you have a “stress releaser”, which is cleaning. Yeah, doing something seems more productive than just lying around, since you get the “ooh I’m sick” out of your mind for a while. Sometimes, it makes you feel worse, just lying around because almost always think that you’re sick.
Get well soon! Cheers!
