Sundays are typically laundry days at our place. There's just one little problem with this particular Sunday: I have no washing machine and dryer (they went to their new home last week), and I have no vehicle (we sold our second car, and the hubby has our only vehicle at work). So, what to do? Well, I loaded the week's worth of laundry into a large laundry sack. Then I grabbed my phone, keys, water bottle, and a roll of quarters. Then....we walk. When I got the laundry sack load onto my back (backpack style), my son said I looked like I had a bag similar to what he imagined Santa would lug around!
A week's worth of laundry is a lot heavier than one imagines, especially when trekking a ways with it. The good part: You get quite the workout, and all of your laundry is done in about an hour and a half (instead of the all day laundry we're used to). Fortunately the laundry room was deserted on a Sunday morning, and I was able to use as many machines as I needed. We left the apartment at 9:30am, and we were home with the clothes put away by noon! The bad part: You have to lug your dirty laundry there, and then your clean laundry back. It's also $1.00 for each wash, and $1.00 for each dry. That's $2.00 a load! I'm gonna have to stock up on quarters!!! We gotta get used to it though, because you don't have a washer and dryer on a boat ;p
