The Mystery of the White Button

Published on by RooLeave a comment

Day 2 of laundry, and I came across a white button in the dryer. I will be spending tomorrow morning going through my clothes as well as finishing up my laundry to figure out where the button belongs.

I don’t recall any of my clothes having round, white buttons, but that doesn’t mean anything; my memory is truly terrible.

It’s getting late and I’m tired from today. This weekend I will be finishing up my cleaning and working on a logo, and hopefully by Monday, I will be moving onto the second phase of this project as well as picking up school and work again. I know there will be speed bumps, but that doesn’t mean I have to give up.

Clothes Mountain: Starting Over?

Yesterday went off with out a hitch… that is, until I realized that what I had thought I had accomplished wasn’t yet done.

The picture above is a half full laundry basket. Someone, who will remain anonymous, took my laundry out of the dryer before it was completely dry and put it haphazardly into the laundry basket, so it’s wrinkled. Then, while I was going through the basket to see if maybe there was anything I could salvage before having to do the entire load again, I found a torn up dryer sheet; this wouldn’t be any issue for most people, but I have extremely sensitive skin and those things make me break out in hives. I now have to redo the first load, and I fear I will have to redo the second load, too.

I understand that it’s just laundry and it can be washed again, shit happens, but I get extremely pissed when I have a schedule to stick to and it gets messed up and I have to do certain tasks all over again.

I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but I was extremely proud of myself yesterday and now I’m just upset. My boyfriend is the only reason I didn’t drop the project.

Doing laundry is a repetitive task, but having to do the first load over again is aggravating. I really don’t have another choice, so I might as well just get started and hope that I get more done today than I did yesterday

Clothes Mountain: End of Day 1

As my day comes to a close, I got about three baskets of laundry done.

I don’t really have much else to report. I feel like I have another day or two of laundry before I get everything sorted away.

I’m proud and extremely tired from running up and down the stairs.

Tomorrow is another day! I can’t wait to be done with this and move onto the next part of my project!

It’s Happening

Well, today’s the day I reveal my greatest shame… Clothes Mountain.

This pile of shirts, socks, pants… and a couple of towels does get clean, I just never put any of it away and it is now a combination of clean and dirty. Starting today, I am going to be washing all of it.

My plan is to fill my duffel bag with clothes from a laundry basket and bring both the duffel and the basket down to the laundry room. Then, I will sort through everything, and start washing. When one load goes in, I will go back to my room to collect more clothes. Once everything is clean and has gone through the dryer, it will be folded and put into the laundry basket. This process will be repeated until all of my clothes are clean.

I don’t know how long this will take, but it’s getting done no matter what. After everything is clean, I will decide what stays, what get thrown out and what gets donated.

It is now 4 PM, and I’ve put this off long enough!
