I feel discomfort in my throat again. If it gets worse, it'll be my 3rd sore throat in 3 weeks! I blame the confined living space that we have to make do for now. The room windows have never been opened by the SIL and even when it opens, I see from the neighbour's unit upstairs, it opens only at about 45 degrees. There is also a 2-layer blind and loads of stuff, ours and the nephew-in-law's, at the bay window.

We always switch on the fan and when we sleep, close the door and when it gets a bit too stuffy, we switch on the air-con. We or I am sleeping beside 2 suitcases, boxes and bags of our other stuff. The hubs commented that the room smells bad when he doesn't seem to notice the moldy smell near the washing machine. I think I must have breathed in a whole lot of mildew when I put the clothes to wash and when I removed them to launder yesterday evening.

Are my expectations really that high? I just want a clean and neat environment to stay in. House-proud, for that matter. And I hope the hubs cooperates especially since we are going to move into a much bigger unit. 

I really can't wait to move back to our own place. I can't wait to start being the mistress of the house. I can't wait to try out the air-fryer, cook on my new stove and oven, do the laundry and use the new laundry system. Like a child who can't wait to play with his new toy, I can't wait to play with mine!
