Sassy Black Friend

Laundry, laundry, laundry…

The saga of getting settled in the new house continues. Today was my first experiment using the washer and dryer. This became necessary because someone (me) accidentally put an open bottle of hand lotion (oops) in a suitcase full of clothes. Last night when I went to put them away I discovered it. Swell.

Anyway, I tried to get off as much as I could, stain sprayed the things that needed it, and let them soak overnight. I wasn’t optimistic, frankly. Once I got a break in conference calls today I went to the laundry room to get to it. Yes, we have a laundry room. It’s more like a big closet, but still.

Little did I know that the doing laundry part would be the hardest of the whole process. The washer and dryer are some suer energy efficient, rocket ship type things that I could barely figure out how to use. Like, I actually considered trying to find a manual. It was that hard. It took a good 10 minutes to work everything out. But the story has a happy ending. None of my clothes are ruined, and I can lord my mastery over the machines over the boyfriend when he tries to use them for the first time. Win/win!

Next time -industrial equipment supplies and the evil birkin bag.
