well, that was a waste
Aug. 18th, 2007 10:30 pmFor most of the last week, I've been thinking that I really ought to go and do laundry. Monday morning, I got so far as pre-treating all the stains and piling the dirty stuff in the cart, but somehow it took me the rest of the week to go to the laundromat. It has not been a good week for accomplishing things. Anything.
But I went to the laundromat so I could wash everything at once. And it only took about 2 hours, counting washing and drying and there and back. Well, 2 hours and $11. And the laundromat's equipment bit little holes in most of the stuff I was trying to wash. Most of it is the kind of cloth that does not mend easily, even if I were inclined to darn half a dozen 1/8-1/4" holes in a given item. Which I am not. I've tried it for a few favorite things, and it doesn't work very well. It hurts my hands, takes months, and makes a mess of the clothes. If I had known they would be damaged like that, I would have put my money towards buying new in the first place, or whatever place it is by now.
