For a Quarter More We Could Buy You More Brain
Stupid things I do October 5th, 2016Every so often I perform one of my most-hated chores: taking our oversized comforter to the laudromat. Somehow time spent at the laundromat is some kind of wrinkle in the time space continuum, such that 1.5 hours is really a day. A whole staring-at-tumbling-laundry, God awful boring sort of day.
I load up all my crap in the car and lug the hulking blanket, along with my wallet, iPhone, car keys, detergent bottle and fabric softener sheets into the laundromat. Did I mention how much I hate this process?
So I get things going by pumping $6.50 worth of quarters into the Volkswagen-sized washing machine. I see a message on the display asking whether, for one more quarter, you want "Super Cycle."
I’m thinking "Yes, yes I would like a Super Cycle because that probably means it’ll be done faster. Like a lightening fast SUPER DUPER WASH CYCLE THAT’S DONE IN A FLASH." No, that’s not what it Super Cycle means.
I means it adds 10 minutes to the wash cycle.
10 minutes.
It’s like 4.5 hours.
But at least I had my iPhone! Did I tell you I bought an iPhone?! Changed my life. Gets you through the tough times, like waiting at the doctor’s office, standing in line at the grocery store, and Super Cycles at the laundromat.
Smartest thing I ever did.
Stumble it!

Wait…wasn’t there any weirdos to watch in there? There are ALWAYS weirdos in the laundromat…what was with that?!
You have to bring a notebook and write blog posts from the laundromat…not surf the web. You are getting soft, Kath. Soft.
Still…I am glad you posted. Made my day, actually.

I’ve always hated the laundromat. Back in the day, I’d buy more clothes just so I didn’t have to go as often. If only I’d had an iPhone back then maybe I wouldn’t have minded it so much. Still…

Congrats on the phone! I find my phone gets me through a lot of waiting, and the occasional solo lunch. I hate eating out alone so having the phone to read, play games, etc. makes it easier to grab a bite while I’m out running errands. I play word feud with hubby and some friends. It’s like scrabble or words with friends.

Thanks, Lin! No, believe it or not, there were no weirdos there, but I have seen plenty before. True, that environment is rich with potential blog posts.
Paula — Yeah, if you were without reading material, there is nothing more boring. Before my iPhone, I would actually buy a newspaper to take along, but even that got old. I’m so glad for the phone now. Time flies by!
Linda — Absolutely! It’s so much easier to feel less conspicuous when you have something to do that’s entertaining or productive. Otherwise it’s a living, boring hell!

Kathy, you rock! It is cool that you had your very own clown security. I never knew clowns drank coffee
