Time, once again (at last) for The Friday Five
1. How often do you do laundry? Interval between laundery is the shortest of (a) Katherine to run out of clean clothes, (b) Margie or I to run out of some essential clothing item, or (c) the pile of laundery in the bathroom reaching small-child-crushing proportions and Margie or I getting sick of it.
Margie usually initiates it. Probably just as well not to think of how often I’d do laundery if left to my own devices.
2. What’s in a typical wash load? Clothes. Lots of clothes. Usually sorted between delicates, reds, darks, lights.
Towels (lots of hand towels, since these seem to evaporate from the kitchen, reappear as napkins/hand towels by Kitten’s plate, then reappear in the Family Room in a similar Kitten-cleaning function, then just get tossed straight onto the washing machine).
Sheets on occasion.
3. Front or top loader? Powder or liquid detergent? Top-loader wash, front-loader (gas) dry. Liquid detergent, usually bought in hernia-inducing drums from CostCo.
4. Do you use fabric softener in the rinse cycle? Yup.
5. Dryer or clothesline? Dryer. I think the HOA has regs against clothes lines, and, frankly, without something buzzing to tell us things are dry, we’d likely never recover our laundery.
