Due to the Dragon Boat Festival, we had a short vacation from Sunday until Tuesday. It is not a very special festival for me but it is good that we have three days off work. I took advantage of these three days to clean my house. I don't like doing housework but I like it after that. Everything is in a good order and it is clean

So, you always get 3 day holiday for Dragon Boat Festival? Do you have dragon boat race over there? I am quite curious how do you celebrate this festival in China. For us here, I just know we enjoy eating zongzi. There might be some dragon boat races, but I have not attend any. I guess that's all. It's good that you have time to clean up. I actually enjoy cleaning and organizing, it's quite a relaxing process for me. I especially like to see the end result of it. But, I always have to find time to do so, as every time after I have cleaned up, not long after that, my kids "contribute" to the mess again.

Actually I asked my son to help me to clean the house. And therefore we could finish it earlier and we could have a good time after that. We have dragon boat race here. And yesterday we rode a bike to the riverside and we saw it.

That is good. That means this week is a short week for you. Actually the weather is too nice to waste on housework.

But if I didn't clean the house during the Dragon Boat Festival, I don't know when I will be able to do so. It is not easy for me to make up my mind.

@scheng1 My dad doesn't like strangers to come home to do some cleaning. He doesn't feel good to it.

@youless True, unless you want to spend money to hire a professional cleaning crew. I'm thinking about doing that for Chinese New Year. We have to book early, as early as July, to get a confirmed service from the cleaning companies. The demand for spring cleaning is very high here, and the cleaning companies will usually send in a team of cleaners.

Since I was busy with cleaning the house, we had a meal in the restaurants during the Dragon Boat Festival. I don't want to waste my time on cooking. Since my main job is to finish the cleaning at first.

That is how I like to do as well Youless. While everyone is busy celebrating or what have you, I like to stay home and clean, then when it is done be so satisfied. Glad you got that done. It was also the long weekend here with the Memorial Day. 3 days.

I have started cleaning this morning. I have cleaned the top floor, the outside balcony, the windows and floors, I have dusted and re-arranged the cabinets. Tomorrow I am going to do the other floor.
