I became a mom today in yet another way. I'm thinking about, talking about, and now writing about the process of doing laundry. I swore I wouldn't do this but here I am.
It has come to my attention in the past few weeks that it is very possible to ABDL (always be doing laundry) and it makes me sad and anxious. We don't actually have that much laundry as a family of three. The problem is my process: I do the laundry on day one, fold it on day two or three, and put it away on day four or five. As someone who was once paid for her efficiency expertise, I am embarrassed and ashamed and have started daydreaming about outsourcing the whole thing. For now, I'll try to get the next few loads done in 24 hours or less, even if I need to pull an all nighter. This is not the kind of laundry I ever thought I'd be writing about. Calgon, take me away.
I try to motivate myself by leaving it out on the couch or the bed. Then I have to do it before I can go to sleep/sit down. And I've been known to just stuff it back in the dryer if people are coming over...
