I have been evicted from my long-term spot at the dining table. Monday morning, my parents continued their cleaning spree of the kitchen and dining room. Their excuse was to make room for our upcoming Christmas weekend hot pot, but I can fathom their true reason (aka to make more room for my mom’s succulent plants).
As part of that clean-up, my mom forced me to remove all my items from the table, including (but not limited to):
- Garmin Fenix 5X
- ViGrace gloves
- CleverYoga rubber squeezes
- TIME and WIRED magazines
- Readaeer book stand
- Jack-in-the-Box and Burger King coupons
- Removed tooth #18 and crown from 11/28 + 11/29
- iPad Pro
- Wallet
- Blender Bottle Overnight Oats
- Plastic tupperware used for regurgitation
- Kleenex tissue box
- Sample toothpaste vials from the dentist
- Old medicine bottles: flonase, ibuprofen, guaifenesin, famotidine, simethicone, esomeprazole magnesium
- Xiaomi USB charger / hand warmer
- Pill container for vitamins
- Heart-shaped foam squeeze toy
- Wellue SpO2 / BPM monitor
- Pocketknife
- Jabra 65t earphones
- Connecting cords and wires
- Amazon Kindle
When listed, it seems like a lot, but those items combined didn’t actually take up that much space. (Admittedly, the table did look a lot cleaner afterwards.) Most of the items ended up in a plastic basket stashed under my bed. The old tooth + crown found themselves in the trash. The book stand and magazines were the only items that were allowed to return.
PS: watched Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans (2022)
