I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I get looks of awe and amazement when other people in my building see me doing my laundry in the morning before work.

You're getting a look of awe and amazement from me.

Ditto.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I get looks of awe and amazement when other people in my building see me doing my laundry in the morning before work.

My upstairs neighbor, whose bedroom is directly above my laundry space, would definitely give me looks if I did my laundry in the morning before going to work. I don't think awe would figure in, though.

Our wings are not tired.

Since I magically turned into a morning person I do all my chores in the morning. I'm a lazy slug after 6PM, but not at all unusual for me to do laundry at 6AM. It is weird even to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too.

I gave myself the highest of fives for doing laundry before church one time.

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

You see, if I do laundry on a weekday morning, the laundry room is empty. Any other time, and I have to wait for a machines.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's very logical, and sounds like the couple of times I tried to convince myself I could get up and exercise before work. It...did not go well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

After doing laundry, I'm usually a sweaty mess, so I do it towards the end of the day on Saturday. I can usually find a brief interval when the laundry room's fairly empty. I'm in the office around 8:00 most mornings, so I'd have to be up ridiculously early (shudder) ... and the people who live near the laundry room would probably be unhappy as well.

Sometimes I wash my face twice in the shower because I can't remember if I did it or not. That is the kind of autopilot I am on in the morning. There is no adding a multi-stage process to that, even if I were to get up an hour or more early.
