Cleaning=Happiness
For the past few days, my mother has been away. Although I miss her, I am ecstatic about what I've been able to do in my mom's absence: run the house.
I've been going to bed feeling very accomplished for having washed dishes and laundry and taken the trash out and made dinner and organized our medicines and vitamins, among other things. My little sister has been slightly annoyed by my enthusiasm for doing everything and even accused me of being "motherly," but I don't mind. In fact, I realized that running a household is something that I have to look forward to for the rest of my life. Some day in the not so distant future, I will be able to do all these things I enjoy all the time. Unlike other inevitable and undesirable occurrences, like death and taxes, managing my own home will be immensely rewarding.
My little sister is much more skeptical, warning me that by the time I do have my own home, I won't want to take responsibility for it. She will be proven wrong of course...
I am happier than usual. And I promise it's not because I'm neat freak. I just enjoy taking care of things. :)
And all kinds of yay for unavoidable future satisfaction!
