1. What's the most cluttered spot in your home?
I would have to say the kitchen. But the Kitchen is not under "my jurisdiction." I'm not touching the kitchen in terms of cleaning up old clutter. (Mom is a pack rat, so I really can't throw stuff out)
2. What's your method for decluttering?
If it's for an area under "my" jurisdiction (i.e., my room), I'll just take everything out and then start going through items one by one. If I didn't think of it, didn't use it, didn't need it for at least 1 year, then it's gone.
3. What are your favorite cleaning products?
I like the Pledge leather and wood surface wax in lemon scent. Lovely scent.
4. What helps get you motivated to clean up?
Usually the feeling comes in phases. I admit I'm no saint and neither a neat freak so I don't keep my space permanently mess-free... usually by the end of the week I'll get in the mood to get to "the clothes that were worn once but not dirty enough to wash but not clean enough to put into the wardrobe" and put them in a specifically-for-such-clothes-drawer.
5. What's the most organized spot in your home?
I still think it's my room, on a Sunday, compared to all the others. (After I've cleaned up... LOL)
Friday Five 1-May-2020
1. May is National Salad Month. What is your favorite salad?
Does that mean I have a reason to have salad every day for lunch at work? I don't have a particular favourite. In truth, I don't really like salad (taste bland, etc).... I'm not too fond of all the sour vinaigrette and stuff, I also avoid the salad dressings so my salads usually taste rather bland. But I stick to it. Lately I order from a place called "Habit Box" and they make an interesting mixed salad. I usually ask for a half-salad-half-brown-rice base, but my friend told me to try a half-salad-half-japanese-noodles and it was yummy.
2. May 2 is Brothers and Sisters Day. Do you have any of those? If so, write a sentence or two about them.
I have an older sister. We finally have our separate rooms. The relationship has turned for the better since then.
3. The second week of May is National Pet Week. What will you do to celebrate?
I think we celebrate the pets pretty much everyday already, so... there's nothing more to do in terms of celebrating... I can share this photo I posted on the dogs' instagram though LOL
On that note, I have an Instagram just for my dogs and cats! @we4dogsmacau. The account was created when we only had 4 dogs (cats didn't come yet), and the original cast did not include the Frenchi pictured. But Woofy has passed since and we have taken in this Frenchie, so we have maintained 4 dogs.
4. Mother's Day is May 10. What are you planning to do for your mother this year?
We were all under the impression that there would be no big-family celebrations due to the semi-lockdown, but right at the last minute (last night) Mom asked me to find a good restaurant for lunch tomorrow (geez) and of course, half the town is booked full. Finally managed a restaurant for lunch with the extended family, then at night I ordered a cake from my friend's shop.
5. Today you MAY do anything that you want to. What would you choose to do and why?
Well, it's almost the end of the day by now... I did use my new treadmill for a 30-minute run this morning, also got one of the dogs on the treadmil for him to get used to it more. I had planned to have a salad lunch as Mom went out for lunch with a friend and Dad went fishing, but then Dad came back early saying the weather wasn't good (too windy) and there were just too many people, so I was stuck with him for lunch and couldn't have salad (he is taking a medication and he can't eat too much greens as it goes against his medication). I'm going to lay in bed the rest of the day and either nap and play on my Switch as... I'm still on Animal Crossing...!
