It’s the little things in life that thrill me to no end.

At 30-something, I’m using a laundromat for the first time. During my maiden voyage, a nice older woman named Annie showed me how to use the equipment. She pointed out the good machines and the ones that act up. She even retrieved me from my reading spot in the sunshine when it was time to switch from cold and wet to hot and dry. In turn, I gave her a ride home.

One of the FANTASTIC things about it is that you can use 4 washers at the same time and in doing so, do 4 loads in the time it would take to do 1. It’s magnificent! Even consolidated, it forces me to spend at least an hour a week sitting still and reading.

I love my laundromat.
