Laundry Day

May 07, 2010

Perfect perfect perfect laundry day, bright and breezy -- and when I got to the laundromat, steeled for the prospect of paying summer rates for the washers, a wash was still $4. So I used three machines instead of cramming everything into two. Travvy and I strolled about while the clothes tumbled. The rent-a-car guy from off-island who has the Siberian husky wasn't there, but we wandered through the airport terminal and TSA didn't throw us out. Like I said, it was a perfect laundry day.

No longjohns in this wash, but there were five turtlenecks and one (light) sweater. Mid-spring was represented by two sweatshirts and three long-sleeved Ts, and thanks to the several warm days we've had, two regular Ts made their first appearance of the year. Everything dried in just a few hours. Pretty soon I'm going to launder my flannel sheets one last time and put them away for the summer, and my various quilts and spreads could use a bath.

As usual, a drawer stuffed full of clean socks and underwear makes me feel as though I'm ready for anything. Anxiety doesn't start till I've only five or six underpants left and rain's in the forecast every day for the next week.
