I think there may be some trick with baking soda that might help, Jars, but I'm not sure how you would keep from having a fine coating of baking soda on all your clothes. Or Febreze, perhaps?
We'll be in our bunk.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I keep all the trouser socks in a little bin, and pull out a likely-looking pair as needed. Mostly I wear them with boots, so no one sees them anyway, but I agree that the textures need to be pretty close or they make me nuts.

Jars, mix up some cheap vodka and a few drops of whatever essential oil you like the scent of, spray that mixture on a clean dry washcloth, and toss the washcloth into the dryer with the clothes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
You can do that at my house too, you know!
I can put JZ's laundry away at your house? I didn't know you had a wormhole at your house!

Putting folded things (if you fold your laundry) in with scented soaps helps, too.

Trader Joes sells bags of lavender for the dryer that can be reused that I like.

are all very good ideas. Especially the vodka one, because booze is always the answer. Thanks guys!
And thank you Sparky for the offer, but I can probably make up my own lavender bag pretty easy (I live next to a big Farmer's/Organic market)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Sophia, find a moment to mutter "stabby, stabby, stabby..." and the professor will never touch your phone again.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I was on a train once next to this guy who was playing some stupid beepy game on his phone, and all the evil looks in the world weren't having any effect. I started channeling Lindsey and scratching out the word KILL over and over with my fingertip.
It actually calmed me down a lot.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
But the important question is, can I sort socks at your house?
Hell yeah!

Yes, You can! Just don't tell anyone else about the wormhole.

Punishingly Intricate
ack, a friend just called to tell me she has news that she wants to tell me "in person." Now I'm all anxious! (She wasn't upset or anything so I think it's fundamentally good news but I think it might be that she and her husband, also a friend, are going to move...which good for them but sad for me!)
