I guess I should have looked it up in my Funk and Wagnalls....
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's kind of a wakeup call to realize that there is enough demand for laundresses that you can find one with that specific experience and excellent references.
OTOH, a really rich and fairly powerful man was just randomly in my office, and I bet his family has a laundress!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just can't imagine enough clothes so that the laundress would be properly occupied.
Speaking of clothes, just bought a couple things from Ann Taylor Loft. Still don't have much that fits. But I will prevail, non-nakedly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Billytea and Biyi!

Now tagless for your comfort.

With our family, I could probably keep a laundress/launderer(?) pretty busy. I'd sure as hell have the dog beds washed every week and keep up better on our bed linens.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Extra olives!
