I kind of like the washing and drying part because I can do something else and tell myself I'm accomplishing two things at once. Even folding isn't too bad if I can detach my mind and let it wander -- it's sort of a mental equivalent of chewing gum. Putting away feels like drudgery far in excess of the actual effort involved.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I need to just throw away all my orphan socks. I keep telling myself that it will be much easier to sort my socks if I only have known pairs, but I imagine that there are orphans silently screaming "No! My mate isn't missing! It's in the other room, for the love of god, don't leave us separated!"
I should probably avoid anthropomorphizing cloth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You're not alone. I anthropomorphize everything.
Maybe that's why I like Marie Kondo's book so much. She treats everything as if it has a spirit, which comes rather naturally to me.

Bagel has been consumed, and now I have to go pay my car taxes, which are not late but are due today.

Thank you for the reminder to move laundry.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you for the reminder to *do* laundry. It's been that kind of week.

I put another load in before I left. My problem with laundry right now is the lifting and carrying.

Done with work for now. Time to go fold laundry. Then I think I'll use the UFYH app to help me get some stuff taken care of.

Car tax semi-fail. When I got there I only had checks left in the joint checkbook, not my personal checkbook. So, now I owe the joint account money.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I cut the toes off orphan socks and use them for mitts in cold weather. My hands get cold even indoors, and typing's easier in fuzzy hand warmers. Skin and joint issues make fingerless gloves problematic sometimes when working. But repurposed orphan or worn-at-the-heel socks are loose enough to work great.
