打扫卫生 (Cleaning)

我从小不太重视干净，在家里时不会主动去洗车，拖地板，擦桌子之类的。只有我爸妈提供零钱的使候，我才有动力去干活，赚一点小钱. 因为我其实不太在乎干净不干净。我离家上大学以后也是一样的，经常家被别人批评为猪窝。


到现在为止才发现房里有多少件事情需要处理。碗要经常洗，地每天都积累一层灰，所以最好天天擦一次地板。 厕所更不用提了，每天越来越脏，其实我已经想出了高招，每次用厕所时不站，做上马桶。

身上的毛掉的快，房里到处可以找到，用布擦一遍以后可以找到好多。洗澡缸里可以掉很多肮脏的物体，要不管的话会变黄。

结论是，整个房子都要经常打扫，越大的房子越需要管理。 住房子真不容易，除非请一位清洁工一星期打扫一次，每个人都需要费劲，付出劳动，而且要安排一定的时间专门负责处理这些活。就像上班似的，那么紧迫的。幸亏我拥有带着爱请的太太来帮我和集中我的注意力！


Ever since childhood I've never placed too many value on keeping clean, as I would not proactively go and wash the car, or sweep the floor, wipe the table, or perform other types of chores. Only when my parents offered money for those tasks, would I get some incentive to act, to make some money. The reason being, I've never really seen the need to be too clean, I've usually lived alone or in my own room. Even when I left my parents' home for college I was the same messy way, often being criticized by others as having a "pig sty."

Only now do I realize how many things a home needs to maintain and how many tasks there are. The dishes need to be washed, the floor accumulates a layer of dust every day, so you have to sweep. Don't even mention the bathroom, which gets dirtier day after day. Actually I've thought of some strategies to combat that, where instead of standing when using the bathroom, I sit on the toilet bowl.

The hair on one's body falls quickly, they creep up all over the house, after one time wiping with a cloth, they are spotted everywhere. The bathtub accumulates tons of dirty material, if left alone it becomes yellow.

The conclusion is, the whole house needs to be cleaned frequently, and the bigger the house the more maintenance is needed. Living in a house isn't easy, unless you have a cleaning person come weekly to clean. Everyone needs to put in effort, provide their labor, and there has to be a scheduled cleanup session specifically designated to cleaning and taking care of these matters. It's just like having a job, it's that important. Thank goodness I have the loving MJ to help and keep me focused on these tasks!
