I think I’ve mentioned before that I despise doing laundry. The good thing is that I have a lot of clothes, and most of the time, I can wear things more than just once (except undies and socks, of course). This means I can usually go a couple of weeks without doing laundry, which is fine by me. The downside is that when you’re doing BIG loads, as was the case yesterday, when something goes wrong, then a whole lotta crap gets fucked up.

What went wrong? How about forgetting to check a pocket where a small tube of tinted lip balm hid? That innocent, little tube wreaked havoc once it was in the dryer. Did I mention this happened in the light-colored load? Yup. Pretty much ALL of the clothes came out spotted with pink. If I wear any of those things you’d think I had been poked with sharp scissors, multiple times, all over my body. It must be the eco-gods telling me to figure out a way to install a drying line outside.

I’m not dumping everything in the trash though. Many can still be worn around the house, and I don’t really care if my socks and undies have pink spots (as long as I know they’re clean, natch). The few pieces that can’t be salvaged will be thrown into my house-cleaning caddy.

I really hate doing laundry. At least now I’ll have a nice supply of rags.
