That is DARLING. Please tell Owen that the Goth Cabal (which doesn't exist) is awarding him GothPoints.

Hmmm.... Denying their existence is exactly what the Goth Cabal would do if it did exist.

We generally do about 3 loads on average every weekend.

We probably generate enough laundry to do a load every day, but it's easier to let it pile up and do all the laundry twice a week. Flylady's methods really work best if you're a SAHM with school-aged children (so you have a ton of housecleaning to do and most of the day you're home by yourself).

Because books.

I could do a load every day, most likely, but I usually do two or more loads at once. Teenage boys make a lot of laundry. Really, really stinky laundry.

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

I usually do about five loads every two weeks at a laundromat.

Indeed. I must admit, folding 4 loads of laundry in one day would be enough to tear my hair out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Since I'm off on Fridays, that's laundry day. (Although right now I'm at Tire Discounters getting my car's tires rotated and balanced, ooooh, the excitement.) I generally do one load of sheets/towels, one load of dark clothes, and one load of light clothes. (All my clothes; Tim does his own.)

This morning my car told me a tire's air pressure was too low. We're in a cold-snap, which must have reduced pressure enough to trigger the warning.

But the tire was probably already low before today, so I guess I should be checking air pressure more often, but it's nice my car can compensate for my laziness.

I think all new cars these days have tire pressure sensors.

As I am now a SAHM with school-aged children, I have to say that the level of cleaning my house needs seems to be escalating (and it's not a mental thing with me, because my guilt is not wired that way). Children make a lot of mess when they're not in before-school and after-school. I could vacuum every other day. (I don't, but I probably should.) And the bathroom, oy.

I have made a doctor's appointment. And my coughing is causing coworkers to ask me if I'm dying. I think I'll go home after lunch and work from there.
