The Day No Wash Would Dry

August 22, 2009

All my tank tops and muscle Ts were in the laundry -- this isn't a huge number, maybe a dozen or so, but it's usually enough to get me through the hot spells -- and most of this month wearing anything with sleeves has been unthinkable, no matter how light the fabric, so yesterday morning it was off to the laundromat. By 11 o'clock all the wash was hung out. By 7 only half of it was dry enough to put away. On a dry, sunny, breezy day even jeans dry inside of three hours (not that I'd have denim anywhere close to my skin these days: even cutoffs are too hot), so you get the idea. "Humid" doesn't do it justice. We're lucky the sun has been hazed over a lot of the time; if it wasn't, the air might have boiled.

This morning was looking like more of the same, but now there's some sun and some breeze, so I've hung the damp stuff out for a second day.

The thing is, Travvy's going in the dog show tomorrow, and I've had it in mind to give him a bath today. What if the dog doesn't dry in time?
