I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0125. After Typhoon Left

Today, I cleaned the front and back balconies, as well as kitchen floor. I planned to do this cleaning Yesterday. But typhoon came by with strong wind and heavy rain. So I decided to the cleaning after typhoon left. At the end of cleaning, my thought jumps back to the old time.

All these days, I have been living alone. Part of living alone, the whole apartment is under my care. Even though the apartment is not mine, the chores and the hygiene are the same. I have been learning those bits by bits since I went to college (well, maybe I should say pay more attention to it). From applying accounts to recently refrigerator problem I have, I am grateful for these experiences. Moreover, it has been chanllenge to balance life and work. Work is heavy and the chores are still there. Finding time to maintain the good living space is not that easy. And I am still struggling. I am glad all the difficulties and chanllenge right now - before marriage.

p.s. One of reason I decided to clean my balconies is the cat problem I have lately. Two cats have been playing in the front balcony and damaged the plants. Also there are wild cats, which may have some flea. Cleaning balconies (with bleach) will help reduce any potential problem of hygiene. And hopefully, cats will be away because the bleach smell.

pps. I felt pretty good after this big cleaning.
