today, we tore off the floor laminate to the living room and dining area. actually we didn't do it. We asked two helpers to do. just do the cleaning up. old already, don't have the strength to do it anymore. when they wanted to remove the flooring to the storeroom, they shifted out the boxes. i took the chance to clear some of the stuffs in the store room. managed to clear out 3 boxes. so now the storeroom is more spacious with 3 less boxes.

also took out the photo albums and we went through the photos. 2 findings:
1) marcus and mabel looked so cute when they were younger
2) i was so much thinner before i had children.

now, feel so tired. the cleaning was difficult because we had to squat or kneel to scrub some sticky stuff off the tiles. it didn't require much strength. but the squatting was tiring. Then also had to sweep and mop the bedrooms. The maid went with my mil to church, so marcus, mabel and max help out with the cleaning. after that, i vacuum the bedrooms.
