I did it. I have been threatening to do it for years now. Having 6 loads of laundry on a beautiful day such as this, I packed it all up and went to the laundromat. I had ALL of it washed within 45 minutes. It was a little pricey, but how can you put a price on your time?
There is something very peaceful about an empty laundromat. There was one other elderly man there and the woman that was working there. I went in, loaded the machines and had just enough time to quickly glance over my latest BHG magazine.
The dryers were another story. After putting in quite a bit of money, I finally decided to bring home the damp clothes to hang what I don't dry all the way, and the rest I will work through as the day progresses.
I also stripped our bed, cleaned it, turned it, (have you ever attempted to turn a KING size mattress by yourself? Hello 1-800-BAD-BACK? lol). Plus I took the skirt off of it, which now will be a comical event trying to put it back on. The top mattress must weigh all of 100 pounds or more. Plus Dennis is working today. Sheesh.... I feel like Laura!
Regardless, most of my laundry is done. A huge weight has been lifted. So I stand here at the kitchen counter, typing on the laptop, with a HUGE bowl (think party size from nearest grocery store) of fruit salad and "dip" to pick through... No TV. No Kids. No nothing... but the whirr of the dryer.
I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you do my laundry? I'm going on 2 weeks here and have had to dip into the 2nd string rotation of clothes and underwear.
