A visit to the laundromat

December 19th, 2006 at 08:04 pm

Did I mention we're having issues with our washing machine? In particular, we're having issues with the drainage. It's been quite a December for us. DD and I went to the laundromat this morning to do 4 loads of laundry. Eight dollars. I haven't done laundry at a laundromat in a very long time. While it was nice to get it all done at once (well, not all of it, but at least four loads of it) it is expensive. I still need to do towels and sheets, and DD has more clothes to do (but that isn't a full load so it will have to wait). I may go back tomorrow to do a few more loads while DD is off making and decorating cookies with her cousin and grandma. I'm doing the last of my shopping tomorrow too (Santa shopping) and wrapping gifts while DD is gone.

I finished the lap afghan for the nursing home. Now I need to call over there and see if they will in fact accept it for one of their residents. If not, I'll find somewhere else to donate it.

DD has her first stage rehearsal this evening for Nutcracker and I'm helping out with ironing and steaming costumes. We stopped by the store to pick up a case of bottled water for the girls.

    Yeah, nothing feels quite like moving backwards through your financial life like a trip to the laundromat. Depending on how large and powerful the dryers are, sometimes you can shave a buck or two by drying in bulk.

    Congrats on finishing the afghan!
