Back pat

Barely after midnight, in bed, in clean sheets no less, I’m veritably bursting with pride. Foolish, arrogant and boastful pride, of course, but something.

This weekend not only did I juggle, including meeting some new folks and passing clubs enough to remember what I forget and that it’s a bit like riding a bike, I also managed to get in along walk and a charity vintage car show with M. And miracle of miracles do some writing. I may even have the first draft of a chapter adequate for a book proposal or bonfire.

Even more significantly, I got some laundry done. Our sheets were wrinkle-free on our bed, stiff and firm with a horridly long-lived accretion of filth. No more, all is fresh and tidy. (Note to self, using the gray sheets just makes one oblivious to dirt.)

I can’t do laundry and not think of Dot of dotdwyer.com. A talented and accomplished actress and comedienne, no doubt, but a stellar laundress wise in the field. I always fold now as I remove the items from the dryer, thanks to her counsel.

The only thing I haven’t yet accomplished is the one email about campaign2008.wordpress.com but that’s what worktime is for. OK not really, but I do get breaks more or less.

God, I am an accomplisher.

    Oh ! You brought a little tear to my eye ! I think of how wonderful your life will be with the clothes already folded in the basket when you finally bring it upstairs ! It’s a small thing, but it can make your whole week !Frequently, it’s the only thing that I get done in a day . . .

    ahhhh laundry thats where sally says the bed smells and the sheets change colour isnt it
    its just like th e washing up fairy
    sally went home to France and took the fairy with her
    i used 3 plates and 2 glasses all week (one juice one wine )
    i know coz i left em in the sink for when the fairy gets back
    if its so few items whats the issue i even put the takeaway boxes in the bin and threw out all the empty beer bottles and wine bottles

    cloths laundry is easy mind t shirts in one wash jeans in another sox n stuff in another hang out till rain stops and it gets dry t shirts in one pile jeans in another sox n tother stuff in drawer
