Yup, i wanted to blog about this. Actually i' probably be blogging everyday this week. So, i've changed bedsheets today (tuesday), thanks to my sister's nagging that i've never changed the bedsheets alone.
So, here i am, woke up with totally frizzled look, wondering where the bedsheets are kept while i made my way to the bathroom to wash up.
I made a couple of errors, wild guesses, before finding them in my parents' room. "So, what's the big deal? i thought... Changing bedsheets.. Chey!" thinking my sister made too big a hoo-ha about me not changing them. The last time i did, was with my sister when we first moved in, and once more with allan when i bought new bedsheets which i was so proud of. So, yeah, i've never really changed them alone for the past 1 year, it's always been mei mei doing the job.
So, i start.

How to start?
I was thinking to myself, do i strip everything off before changing them, or do i change them along the way? And where do u put the pillows, (5 of them. 3 being mine), Bolster ( 1), Quilt (2, 1 each, mine's queen and her's super single) and the old Bed sheets (Queen) while stripping them off ? It's seems unhygenic to put them on the floor? But it seems to weird to pile them on the old bed sheets (which i've rolledup about to wash).. So, i recalled.. amazingly. St John, When i was doing my nursing lessons-" how to change bedsheets". HAHAHAHA!!
So, after some haphazards manoeuvres (half-half), i've managed to change all of them!!! Boy, nobody mentioned changing bedsheets requires arms of steel (Yeah, to me), all the flipping making sure all corners of the quilt gets the quilt covers, (yeah, i made the mistake of criss-crossing the quilt and the covers) holding up the thick mattress so you can tuck in the bedsheets neatly. pulling the bolster case out of the bolster, i think i took a whole half an hour to clear and change them. Let's not forget the back muscles required when you stretch and bend your back. AHHH....
it's a workout alright. And at the end....TADAH
and just when think that's the end of it, there's the mammoth washing to do! My mum was amazed, when her 26-year old daughter doesn know how to operate the new washing machine since we've gotten about 11 months back. So much for giving myself away, the level of commitement to household chores i do.
Hee, thanks sis. I din know you've been working out so hard.
