New home update
I love my new home. Perhaps it would seem a bit ordinary to others but this is by far the nicest pad we’ve ever lived in. I couldn’t believe the dodgy places I used to call my own place but for a while we’ve got our own little slice of heaven.
Cooking, cleaning, buying things for the house are such a newfound joy. The increase in space has improved my peace of mind more than I could’ve imagined. I will probably hole up in our apartment willingly in future. No more feeling cramped and stressed!
The kangaroo had a conference call this morning at 6am but I was hardly disturbed because we have sliding doors that separate the living room and bedroom. As the light morning drizzle fell, I snoozed deeply and didn’t even notice when the kangaroo climbed back into the futon.
I’ve been whipping up my quick 10-min dishes (okay, I’m exaggerating, what cooks in 10 min without coming completely from a packet?) and they seem even easier with a three-pan stove, a grill and a toaster.
The only slight blip is I can’t seem to get along with the washing machine. The kangaroo seems to know how to work it well but I tend to overload it or press the wrong buttons. I was running terribly late this morning because I was fiddling around with it. We got a front-loader because the kangaroo is a firm environmentalist though he’s really a capitalist at heart.
The vigorous spinning apparently wicks off dirt and water much faster so it saves more energy and water than a top loader. I just read from a few websites that front-loaders require special detergent — non-sudsy, efficient soap — to work well. The spin motion, which is designed to mechanically whack the dirt out, is interfered by the suds by “softening” the impact and your clothes don’t get a good wash. Tide is recommended as a good efficient detergent. Guess what I’m buying at the supermarket this weekend…?
Alright, housewifey, auntie overload here. Time for lunch, I reckon.
