Laundry Woes
25/7/05 06:33Last night, people played D&D over at my house specifically so I could finish doing my laundry, which sorely needed done.
Last night, when I went to bed at midnight, one load was in the dryer and another was ready to be put in first thing in the morning.
6:15 am - alarm goes off. Get up, grab quarters. Head to basement.
6:16 am - get to basement. See that someone else's laundry is already in the dryer.
6:17 am - look at dryer. See that dryer, instead of being set for 60 minutes, is set for 80, thus ensuring that I will not be able to put my load of laundry in to dry before going to work. Start to whimper.
6:19 am - turn to load of laundry that was drying last night with a happy exclamation. "At least you're gloriously dry, bath towel, shirts, underwear, and classy silk work pants: I will have something to wear to work today." Go to pick up basket.
6:20 am - note that laundry in basket is still damp, as if it had been taken out halfway through its drying cycle last evening.
6:21 am - look over at 80 minute drying cycle to two piles of damp, unwearable laundry. Start to bang head against table, causing socks to fall onto floor.
6:22 am - Hope that iron I bought yesterday might do something to dry clothing.
6:23 am - stomp back upstairs with pile of damp clothing. Realize that must still get to train by 7:15 am. Have no idea how I will dry hair.
It had been such a good weekend up until this point.
Must iron now instead of nice leisurely breakfast.
Update: I also lost one of a pair of one of my favorite sets of earrings in the time between when I left the apartment and when I crossed the street. Annoyed...sigh. Can't be replaced; my mom gave them to me.
Thought of a new thing for Sumptuary [RPG I'm going to be running], though, so it balances out.
Note to housemates: I will be over to watch B5 and do gaming this evening; I just have to toss at least one load of laundry in the dryer before I come over.
