To Wash or Not To Wash

It has been approximately 25-days since I last did laundry (this includes dry cleaning). I've run out of underwear and had to buy some from Gap Body. More importantly, I've run out of decent clothing to wear to work.

Today, I wore a dress that I'm pretty sure I wore a week and a half ago but wore a sweater over it so that it looked like a skirt. Tomorrow is Friday so I'm allowed to wear jeans and all of my nice jeans are dirrty. Yes, dirrty with two r's, like Christina Aguilera's "Stripped." They are that dirty.

While WG2 now has a washer/dryer in her apartment, I do not. When we lived together the laundromat was directly across the street from our apartment. I could quickly drop off my laundry right before closing on a weekday evening and pick it up again the next day right before close.

Now, I have to schedule appointments to have it picked up and dropped off. Pick-ups cannot be scheduled later than 7:15, which barely gives me time to separate my whites and darks and put my pretty little undies in my pretty little undie washing bag. This means that two days in a row I have to leave work with enough time to go home, sort my laundry, write out instructions and get it picked up. Completing this task the night before would just be too easy. Getting out of work early is just too hard.

Next Thursday, I'll be heading to my dad's house in suburia (you may remember my adventures there). I'd love to wait until then and bring my laundry home but I barely have clothes for the weekend let alone next week at work. Think I can make it or not?

And, yes, I did purchase enough underwear to get me to next Thursday.
