I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have been being diligent about laundry, I feel. After work this week, I've been doing 1-3 loads each day, and...not done yet. I don't understand how (or why) one woman generates so many T-shirts and towels. It's mighty insane. And it's not like I ran out of either--I just ran out of places to put unwashed clothes.

Sadface. But making progress. And I have a cleaning lady coming round Saturday for bathroom and kitchen. So, slowly making things better.

You could always just acquire an industrial-sized washer...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow. I maybe do one load a week.

I do about a load a week each of whites and shirts/cargo shorts, and now that cold weather's back I'll be doing a load of jeans every other week.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I do 2-3 loads every fortnight.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I do 2-3 loads every fortnight.

I am Scola in this.

hip deep in pie

Even though I have a washing machine in my basement, I do 4-5 loads every three weeks.

Unless, of course, Oz has peed on something.

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

In theory, I think I could do two loads a week and be all right. In practice, I Wash All the Clothes (and towels etc) once a month or maybe six weeks. Overdue for that right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Flylady wants me to do a load every day, but I think she thinks there are more people living in my house. But I like to use the clothesline, and where I have it hung it's most effective in the mornings, so I do a load every two or three days. Although today I have a full three loads coming home from vacation. I did do laundry on the road, I swear! But it's physically impossible to come home from a road trip without a full laundry bag, somehow.

Also, I need to find some functional vintage clothespins. The ones made today are just not intended for heavy daily use, even the ones I got from Lehman's.
