it's 1.11am and the city has gone to sleep.
i have just finished all my household chores - which included, in chronological order, keeping my clean and dried laundry, washing another batch of clothes along with the two new dresses i bought from my workplace today (yes you may have already noticed that i am extremely averse to having dirty laundry in the bathroom when it's my responsibility), pressing a truckload of clothes, and then taking out the fresh-smelling clothes out of the washing machine to dry in the coolness of the night.
the past few days have been so packed with work, chores, yoga, tuition, cooking and grocery shopping. nonetheless, i felt empowered with my new-found independence. i found pride in my domestic abilities. and i gained confidence about how i can manage my life on my own. but in return, i had to sacrifice a lot of rest time and leisure time in order to maximise my twenty four hours in a day.
right now, my back is aching like an old lady, and my eyelids are sinking. but first i have to clear up the table and put my clothes back into the wardrobe. then i will fall into the embrace of my warm cosy bed.
thankfully, my mum is back tomorrow.
