#Summer Life Check-in Season#
I threw away most of the sofas at home, including the chaise longue and a single seat. I threw away my husband when he was away on a business trip. I couldn't wait to start on the first night of his business trip. In fact, I had been thinking about this plan for a long time. I discussed it with him, but he didn't agree.
So this time I had to throw the sofa away when he was not at home. It was not my fault. I was going to wait for him to come back. I would not say anything no matter what he said, because the sofa had already been thrown away.
My home is on the 4th floor of an old, dilapidated house with 2 bedrooms, 1 living room and 1 bathroom. The rooms are all facing south, which is good because they are sunny. The rooms are quite large, and the living room is also OK. Because it is a walk-up apartment, its usable area is still large, but the kitchen and bathroom are a bit small, but the living room is still quite large, probably about 8 or 9 square meters.
Because I bought a second-hand house, I didn't decorate it when I moved in, I just moved in with my luggage. The owner bought a set of sofas and a big coffee table, which filled up the living room. It's been three or four years, and I can count the number of times I sit on the sofa on my hands. Think about it, I'm usually at work, and when I come home at night, I cook and eat, then take a shower and go to bed. How can I have time to sit on the sofa?
So I have been displeased with the sofa in my house for a long time, but if I want to throw it away, he will definitely not agree. If I throw something away at home and he finds it, he will definitely scold me. I always throw things away when he is not around, but this sofa is quite big, so I can't throw it away secretly. Not long ago, I told him that I wanted to throw away part of the sofa, and he said what if there are guests at home? I said there is still a part left, but he refused to agree.
Think about it, the pace of life is very fast nowadays, who would often visit another family to chat? Everyone goes to work and comes home, and then closes the door to live their own lives. Even relatives rarely visit. Take my niece and I for example, we work during the week and rarely have a break on weekends. We will only visit if there is something going on, and when we do, we will not sit in someone's house and chat for half a day.
I had made up my mind to throw away the sofa. After sending my son to school, it was almost 7 o'clock, so I started to tinker with it. I moved the sofa a little and cleaned it. To be honest, as long as I didn't move the sofa, no one would think of cleaning it. The floor underneath was so dirty, so I swept it first and then mopped it.
The chaise longue is so big that it took me a lot of effort to move this sofa from the 4th floor to the downstairs floor. I am quite impressed with myself actually. It was just less labor-intensive when moving it because I just slid down the stairs. But when I slid downstairs, I still had to move it to the garbage room, which was about 400 to 500 meters away from us, so it was also quite a big project.
I first moved the sofa downstairs, and then went to pick up my son. On the way, I told him that I had done something big at home and asked him to guess. He said, give him a range. I said it was in the living room. He asked, "Did you lose the sofa?" I gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are worthy of being my son. You know what I am thinking."
After picking up my son and bringing him home, I took great pains to use the electric bike and my own strength to dump the sofa next to the construction waste room.
I hope the property management will not come to me tomorrow. I think it should be okay because that place is specially used to store construction waste. The sofa can also be considered as construction waste because I usually see other people in the community throwing away the toilet directly at the stairs and no one asks or cares.
By the way, after I removed part of the sofa, there were still two spaces left, and I put it against the wall, and the living room suddenly felt a lot more spacious.
I was very happy and took a walk around the living room before going to bed. It looked a lot brighter.
Life is about subtraction, so that you can be happier and happier. This subtraction is not only material, but also spiritual. For example, you can't always think about those painful things, you have to think about happy things, forget those painful things, and throw them aside. Only in this way can life become easier and happier.
In the days ahead, just make yourself happy first! How can you live happily?!
