You'd think that once we got a washer and dryer I'd hate laundry less, but the only difference is that now,
when I put it off until I run out of clothes, it's a lot easier to do it on the spur of the moment.

i despise laundry

Laundry day. I despise laundry.

When we Buy The House, which is our big far-distant savings goal, the first gizmos we equip ourselves with will be a washer and dryer. No question. This business of having to walk down the street with twenty pounds of laundry is for the birds.

But I'll miss the woman at the laundromat, a little Vietnamese woman with fractured English and absolutely no fear of anything on earth.

I tend to put off laundry for a very long time - until I have absolutely nothing to wear which is suitable for work, in fact, and given where I work, that means nudity must be impending before I do it.

I suppose if I didn't wait so long it would be slightly less of a chore.

I have to go get it out of the dryer now. Pardon me.
