Laundry

I don’t know about you, but doing laundry is one of those basic tasks that feels like “a gift that keeps on giving.” it doesn’t seem to matter if I do a load every couple of days organize it for once a week, or let things pile up till there is an acute shortage of critical clothing items.


Today was that day. Hauling everything to the laundry room and sorting out the fabrics by color and weight, it appeared to be about five loads. More than the average, but considering I am not sure exactly when I did laundry prior to today….. I have a system down pat which involves essentially running the loads first which take the least amount of time to dry and leaving towels/jeans for the final load. Since we renovated and the laundry is down stairs, I am less likely to take it out side and hang to dry. It also might have something to do with the frequency that we get deer in the yard…

anyway – five loads later with cat supervised assistance –

I finished up and started hauling everything back upstairs. 

And very likely next week I will do this all again….

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
