Let me speak to you of laundry. You all who are single are sometimes like, "OMG, I have so much laundry to do! Four loads!" I do a load of laundry almost every day. Probably 8 loads a week.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There is a stinkbug on the wall, which is fascinating the cats.

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 had my last meeting of the day and went out to buy more green tea, which was my excuse to be outside. I was completely unprepared for it to be 89F! It's been so cold for so long that my body hasn't adapted. But it's kind of unpossible to be prepared for 140 degree temperature difference.

Heh. It was in the upper 70s when I left Highland Park. When I got off the train in Chicago, I noticed it felt a lot warmer. So on my walk home, I was thinking, "I know I'm not used to heat after our winter from hell, but it's got to be at least 80. If it's not 80 I'll feel like a total wuss."

I didn't know it was 89 until I saw shrift's post.

edit to remove bad apostrophe.

HAHAHAHAHA flea you are so off base on my single person's laundry. I don't know how I have so much, I don't have costume changes all day, and yet...8 loads a week would be about right if I kept up better...

I don't feel like I have to do dishes every day, though. And I have been known to eat out just so there aren't dishes to wash.

"I know I'm not used to heat after our winter from hell, but it's got to be at least 80. If it's not 80 I'll feel like a total wuss."

I walked out the door and was all "WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A SAUNA WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME -- oh, it's 90."

I don't know how I have so much, I don't have costume changes all day, and yet...8 loads a week would be about right if I kept up better...

Huh. I do about one load a week. Unless I'm washing my bedding, and that takes me up to a whole three loads.

Then again, I don't need a separate work wardrobe...

Some of my excess is towels, probably. I hate reusing towels, I want a fresh clean one every shower. And I am unreasonable about separating everything by color and temperature and permanent-press-or-not.

Aha. I reuse towels and I mostly wash everything on cold like a heathen. I'll hand wash stuff rather than run a load for a couple of delicate items or if I'm concerned something is going to bleed.

Oh, yes. This is the real reason there are restaurants.

I have off tomorrow. I'm thinking of driving to the Air Force Museum in Dayton either tomorrow or Saturday.

Teppy and flea, are you available Friday or Saturday evening?
