back at the laundromat...

The first reason I took the morning off from work was so I could call 311 from the privacy of my itchy home and file my complaint without my coworkers overhearing my embarrassing plight.

The second reason is this: laundry. Now that the bugs are undeniable, it seems wrong to do drop-off laundry, because they won't do the hot water and extra hot dryer I need to render my clothes "clean."

So I packed up my load, walked down to the big laundromat, and filled 4 washing machines (3 doubles, 1 triple). When the wash is done, I dry for extra long on extra heat. Then I put the "clean" clothes into plastic space bags and live out of them for weeks to come.

I'm annoyed I had to take (another) day off to deal with this (again), but waiting for the weekend seemed like a bad idea.

Here's to coin-free laundry and available machines...
