Laundry

Ever heard of too much of a good thing? Well, I think I've just understood that for the first time in my life. Regarding what you ask? Clothes.

I live in a 425 square foot studio apartment, which naturally has NO room for a washer/dryer. So laundry seems to be even more of a task when I have to drive somewhere to do laundy. I hate it and therefore, I just don't do it.

Certain undergarments are nearly disposable in my mind at this rate. (Nobody seems them so why not?) I'm gonna let you all in on a dirty (pun intended) secret. I haven't done laundry for 2 months!

Imagine my excitement today when I discovered laundry services while I was calling laundromats. They're telling me I can actually drop off my laundry, they'll do it for me, and then I can pick it up for $1 a pound. Hmmmmm.....

Well, as amazing as that sounds I had to skip it this round. There was no way I was paying nearly $70 for my laundry to get done by somebody when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself....as soon as I get over the creepy-factor of laundromats I've conjured in my mind.

Regardless, when my laundry's not like the Leaning Tower of Pisa I may not hesitate to spend $5 for someone to do my laundry in the future. Oh and to avoid this situation from ever happening again, I'm going to try to do laundry once a week. Like a normal person. I'll let you know how that works out.

Oh and back to the too much of a good thing. I said that because I have too many clothes to be able to get by on months without doing laundry. However, this did prompt me to get rid of 5 garbage bags of old clothes because I know there's people out there that'll appreciate them much more than me.

Regardless...I'm still in love with the concept of laundry services. I've got to try it at least once.
