10:52pm yesterday. Today was laundry day. It`s always so strange when I do laundry.
With all the waiting there is to do, I plan carefully to provide myself with something
interesting to read or do. Every time (read: EVERY TIME), I end up not do anything but
waiting for my draw`s to fluff. What is it that makes me want to just post at the
"Soap and Suds" doing nothing but wait.? Normally I can`t stand just doing nothing. I
have to keep myself pretty busy in order to keep from wanting to pull out my nose hairs.


It`s a rare occasion that I have the opportunity to be among so many strangers
doing what some may consider a relatively personal chore. It may sound strange and
trivial,but these folks are literally airingtheir dirty laundry. At least for as long as
it takes them to transfer them crusty undies from their laundry basket to the washing
machine.


How many times have I dropped my underwear on the floor in front of a complete stranger?
Countless. Wow, do I sound like a priss? Perhaps. Walking around with your thongs falling
and forming a nice silky trail behind you as you walk around the "Soap and Suds" is not my
idea of a dignified situation. Nonetheless, it`s a necessary chore. We all, save those
with the luxury of a built in washing/drying unit, have to do it.
