1) What's the most cluttered spot in your home?
I have to say... the what we call "the backside verandah". It's originally a back side porch or verandah, but it's open to the public corridor on the floor above us, so someone could go to the 6th floor on a public corridor (it's a fire escape) and jump to our back verandah. My Mom got the permit to cover it up so it's like an extra long room. All the crap goes there. Like... ALL THE CRAP.

2) What's your method for decluttering?
General rule of thumb: anything I haven't used/thought of/wanted to use for the last year, is good enough to go.

3) What are your favorite cleaning products?
It's so satisfying seeing the oven cleaner eat away the old dirt/oil/grunge and then wipe it away!

4) What helps get you motivated to clean up?
I don't know. It comes in phases. I can think about cleaning, but don't feel like it... or it can just hit me one day and then I'd be like in all hazmat gear and clean the sh*t out of everything.

5) What's the most organized spot in your home?
I'm surprised to say my underthings drawer LOL. I wanted to say the shelf, but I'm looking at it.... nah. Then I look at my piano/table... nah. My wardrobe is a disaster, but when I opened the underthings drawer, oh boy. That's the neatest. LOL. I got those small sectioned trays (one tray then it's divided up to like 12 sections) and one pair of undies go into each section. I have several of these trays, so undies, socks, and other small items go there. Then the next tray is all the bras, and a small tray for random items like gloves for winter and my bathing suit for summer. Yeah. That's the neatest thing I've managed to keep.

1. What was your greatest Triumph this week?
Survived the week. I can go back to the office on Monday! Hope my succulent didn't die!

2. When did you last interact with the Police?
A couple months ago, I picked up a credit card in the park. So I took it over to the police station.

3. What’s recently caused your Heart to leap?
I dunno. Nothing particularly exciting. Maybe for when they announced we can start taking the dogs out tomorrow again.

4. What are you in no Rush to deal with?
Work. I'm on involuntary leave, so, I'm not dealing with work.

5. How liberally do you use Salt-n-Pepa?
Assuming this means the regular salt and pepper that I understand it us... almost never. I don't mind when food is bland. There's so much more taste to food than salt and pepper. Like, sometimes you can taste the chicken when you eat chicken, and it tastes very different from beef. I think the only thing I knowingly intentionally add salt to is when I'm having soft boiled eggs. Yeah, even sunny side ups, I don't add salt to it.
