Ho hum.

You'd think after 9 years of doing laundry in public laundry mats, I'd get used to it. But nope - and doing it in the middle of the week is that much worse. 

Laundering Through Life

Pic #2 - 1/2/12:

It's Sunday a holiday Monday, which means it's laundry day! I calculated that I do laundry approximately 48 times per year. At the laundromat next to my building, I spend between 4 and 8 dollars each laundry run. That's on average 24 quarters per trip. When I'm playing my best game, it takes me at least 75 minutes to wash, dry and fold. 

A year in laundry by the numbers:

• 1,152 quarters inserted 
• $288 dollars spent 
• 3 large bottles of Tide emptied 
• 96 dryer sheets dispensed 
• 12 socks lost 
• 3,600 minutes (60 hours, 2.5 days) consumed 
• 2 marriage proposals received while waiting for dryers (neither accepted) 

What's more mundane than laundry? Yet, I always feels accomplished, satisfied, and at peace after the last two socks are paired and put away.
