I'm going to guess that if you had washed them more they would have crapped out sooner. But maybe get a spare set of sheets and alternate?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
I go with avoiding saying "next Saturday" like the plague, since I can never be sure what the other person will understand by it.
This.
Tom, I have never washed new sheets before I used them.

Coding and Sleeping
I sorta fixed our washer. All that was really wrong with it was that the button that turned it on had broken. Not the electronics but the plastic . After removing the circuit boards and cleaning out the broken plastic it works again. You have to poke a pencil or something through a hole to press the button on the circuit board, but it does turn on. With the missing button, the broken knob, and the half-broken door handle it feels like it has sort of gone form being a West Germany (yes, it's that old) made washer to more like a Russian washer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why would next Saturday be this Saturday? Next Saturday is a week from now.
Because this coming Saturday is literally the NEXT Saturday to occur.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It has to be next to something! There have to be two! It's a sequence.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've had washing machines just like that, Gud!
I tend to throw in a "this coming Saturday" into the mix, meaning (in this case) day after tomorrow (which at some point is where anyone having this discussion with me is going to e forced to land, and probably both of us will say "Day after tomorrow? Huh, I guess it is" (or, you know, "No, the Saturday after that" if that is what they meant)). I am on the side of relentless questioning and confirmation to be sure is what I'm saying, I think.
And confirming with "the 16th" would probably lead to actually looking at a paper calendar or at least my phone. Actually, that's probably inevitable whatever route we take to get there. There might be pointing required.

Also, I am a firm believer in having a spare set of sheets and swapping them out so it is at least theoretically possible to change the bed without doing laundry, but I can see the appeal of just having the one and not having anything to store.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
but cotton sheets and t-shirt sheets and flannel sheets and modal sheets. old sheets and new sheets (feel totally different) and plain sheets and decorated sheets. I might have a sheet problem.

I definitely have a sheet problem. But I get the appeal of the minimalist approach.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yeah, we have at least 4 sets of sheets in regular rotation (though one is due to be retired because of a Mystery Hole neither one of us can figure out the cause of). Every Friday, I change the sheets. My whole weekend is thrown off if I don't start with clean sheets on Friday night.
