Laundry and other acts of virtue

daidoji_giseiI got up this morning at 5 and did a load of laundry before breakfast. After breakfast I gathered up all of my sheets plus my bedding and took them to the laundromat. This is far more sheets than I usually deal with, but between the weather and New Year being on a Saturday I just hadn't gotten them washed before now. I filled 3 double-load washers.
After getting home (and doing another load of laundry) and having lunch I did some reading, hung out on the internet until Fred sent back my story with his suggested edit, fixed it and sent it to Shawn, and then started cleaning and rearranging my living room. This was kind of a way of not doing my dishes, but since I really do need to clean and rearrange my living room I decided this was an allowable dodge.
While at the laundromat I had finished crocheting a shrug that I've been working on forever; all I need to do now is sew up the sleeves and its an article of clothing. (Though I really need to wash it before wearing.) It felt good to get one of my projects done and I suspect that helped feed the living room frenzy because it sure would be nice to have a place to sit and do handwork projects, doubley so since I have found my embroidery stuff.
I took a bath tonight and so I will be clean, wearing a freshly-washed nightgown, and sliding into freshly laundered sheets. This experience is one of my favorite things, and pretty much justifies dragging my sheets through the snow this morning.
