SHEET!

Ok, I want to cry now.

I just spent the whole morning trying to sleep of my exhaustion from work yesterday. Then I had to wake up anyway because I need to set up various appointments. This is the time when I’m wondering why the HECK am I busier on holiday than I am during Uni term!

Then I spent the whole afternoon working. Then I spent the whole evening after Cane sorting out my room, throwing a lot of stuffs out, waddling through my paper clutter…my junks filled 3 garbage bags. Considering I’m not even a rat pack to begin with!

Then about 5 minutes ago, I decided I’ve had enough and I’m heading to bed.

Then I found out that my bed is completely naked.

I am soooo smart I have decided to do my bedroom laundry on the day I anticipate myself to die from exhaustion.

I WANT TO CRY. CAN SOMEONE COME HERE AND PUT ON MY BEDSHEET FOR ME, PLEASE?

There are two household chores that I dislike doing really, really bad. One is vacuuming. I really dislike the way it goes “vrooooossshhh!!!!!!” so loudly and yet do such a slow job than a broom might have done. But considering the house is fully carpeted, vacuuming is not something I can run away from.

The other chore is putting on bedsheet(s). I’m happy enough to rip the sheets off the bed and dump them into the washing machine. But I groan to put on another sheet. Why do sheetmakers (yes, ALL pun intended) make sheets so tight that you have to summon every ounce of your strength to stretch it to the other side?????

And then there’s the business of tucking those sheets neatly under the mattress. No problem if you’re sleeping on a cheap, thin mattress. BIG PROBLEM if your mattress is made of rock. Even back when my mattress was cheap and thin, I had a big issue with tucking the bedsheets under it. What more to say this gargantuan one!

And I’m complaining about having a single bed. Whenever I’m at Hero’s house and it’s time to change the sheets, I always delay putting fresh sheets back on. He has a Queen size bed for God;s sake! And his mattress is those special, sports-designed mattress ones. Queen size, King weight.

In case you wonder what a sport designed mattress is…it is the kind of mattress designed by the sports institute specifically to the dot calculations for the use of sports people. Well, duh. That was a succinct enough explanation wasn’t it?

The mattress is really good. It helps with my back problems, something that I have battled with for years. I love it any other day except on bedroom laundry day. On that day, I curse and cry and wail and moan and groan and hide in the corner til I can face my sheet spreading fear.

Really, it isn’t helping that I’m writing this entry at 1.48am, wishing the sheet will just put itself on. Maybe if I think about it hard enough, my mental prowess will magically move the folded sheets and make it er…sheets itself, for lack of better words.

You know what?

I’ll just put them on tomorrow when I’m fresher. For tonight, I will have to dig my winter throw rug on the mattress and be done with it. just for tonight. I promise I will ‘sheet my bed tomorrow morning. Honest!

Because damn, the winter throw rug is very warm and is not supposed to come out anytime during the summer.

Then again, I’d rather be sweating then lying on a mattress probably infested with dormant bedbugs…just waiting to feast on me.

Eeeeeeeekkkkk!
