What is the point of sweeping the floor

It just gets dirty again?

Sure can relate to Agnes on this (Hamnet, p218).  So, I find myself wanting to write something about finding the motivation to clean and it's relation to one's mental health.  Personally, I hate cleaning in general.  I get too wrapped up in the task and I haven't found the efficiency to do so thus taking more time and effort than most.  Stumbled upon the 20/10 method and seems practical and doable approach to cleaning.  I feel like I am doing something similar already as I attack smaller tasks but will keep in mind the shared tip on keeping the activity in short bursts and track with a timer.  Not sure about getting others involved, honestly I don't like cleaning when people are around, it makes me self-conscious and well it hinders my movement and thinking lol if that doesn't make sense maybe it's just me.

Speak plainly

So I'm barely making progress with Hamnet and the jump between two timelines took me a while to adjust.  I'm at the part when Agnes is gone missing and Will, in his attempt to find her whereabouts, went to ask his brother in law.  I find it funny how Bartholomew impatiently prompted Will for quick but simple answer to his question:  Is all well? @p128/789 ebook.

Anyway, didn't share in goodreads as I've just updated my progress a couple of pages ago :D  I feel the need to post and share here instead.

Followed up by these words: "I cannot divine" got me googling, who the heck still speaks like so nowadays.

And so we play

I wish I can jam with my boy Stevie,

For did my dreams came true when I looked at you

The teen helped me assemble (ambait lang) and before calling it a night handed her old books to me.  Honestly, a song or two just flowed from memory naman.  But yes, I do need to practice again and learn new ones!
