Today… I had to take a break from major coding. I had to. Mostly because today is the day I clean the apartment top to bottom.

Looking at how I used to keep my room when I lived with my parents, I never would have thought me to be a person who was neat and tidy. I was notorious for piling books and clothes and papers and other things along the perimeter of my room. I lacked a closet, though I loved those yaffa cubes. I hated dusting. Vacuuming. I hated laundering my bed sheets.

Maybe it’s because I have so much space now, that my things aren’t crammed into one small room, but sometime after I moved into my apartment I’ve learned to be a tidy little lady. I have a strict cleaning schedule where I clean the apartment, top to bottom, and wash my linens, every other Saturday.

I would have made someone very happy. Ha!

Even strangers find me neat, like this random guy my sister knew. I let him stay in my apartment when he came up to visit Ana, and the thing he said to my parents about myself was that I am very clean. Tidy. Neat. One of those words.

I derive satisfaction from a clean living space. Definitely, it feels good to look around and see everything clean. Especially kitchens and bathrooms. I wince sometimes when I have to use a dirty bathroom at someone’s house. Use some vinegar and baking soda, people! It will do you wonders.

But to each their own, I guess. I just like tidiness and order. Maybe you like chaos and disarray. No fault in that.
