Since we had a rainy weekend here in CT, I couldn't hang out laundry and there was just too much wash to do today for my slow dryer so off I went to the laundromat in town. As much as I hate going there, it is good to get it all done at once in an hour.
I did wash one load at home so threw that in the dryer as soon as I got there before loading two large washers with laundry.
I brought a soda and my book so the time went by quickly and I enjoyed reading.
There were a couple of people that were there during that time. One woman came in with a blanket and comforter. I cringed when she was dragging it across the grungy carpet. A mom came in with her four kids and a few toys. All four kids were on the floor playing. I cringed again. I don't even put my laundry baskets on the floor.
Loaded up the car with all the folded laundry in a big basket and all the clothes on hangers. Came home and put everything away and made up my bed. I love getting into bed on Sunday nights to clean sheets. Maybe when I am retired, I'll wash my sheets daily so I can have the luxury of clean sheets each night.

My son Pavel asked me to wash his sheets every day so he could have fresh ones when he went to bed - uh no - sorry kiddo! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe laundromat is a TREMENDOUS place to people-watch. I love the feeling of getting that much laundry done at once, the ambiance is never good....and it IS odd, isn't it, how a place dedicated to cleanliness, is so dirty.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, nothing like clean sheets that are hung out on the line!
Sounds like you accomplished a lot. God bless you for your vision of daily clean sheets ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt does sound wonderful indeed.
Saw your comment on Smiles and Trials..we are in CT too...thought I'd come by and say *hi*

I didnt know Pavel liked clean sheets so much!!
ReplyDeleteClean sheets everyday is a tall order, retired or not!!
I love the feel, smell of a fresh bed too.
We went to the laundromat in Athens. It was clean, but lots of weird people.
We finally broke down and bought a washing machine this trip. Ive never been so excited about a new appliance in my life:)
I love fresh clean sheets! I also like switching from cotton to flannel in the winter, and back to cotton in the spring. Getting into a properly made up bed is also a comfort :)
ReplyDeleteI also use cotton sheets spring - fall and switch to fleece sheets in the late fall for the winter months. Ahhhh, wish I could crawl right back into those sheets and go back to sleep but it's off to work I go.
ReplyDeleteA germ a phobic like you should NOT go to laundry mats. I love the idea of getting all the laundry done at once though.
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteYou're right but the dirty laundry was piling up and it was raining so I had no choice. I'd started out to go to the nicer one in the next town on Sat. but it was pouring and I would've gotten soaked carrying out the 3 baskets of laundry. I put it off until Sunday and that nicer laundromat is closed on Sundays.
I do like getting it all done at once. They ought to make laundromats sterile and have Internet connection available. I'd go more often for sure.
