We're bad at everything. Let's write down the things we've done today:

• Brushed hair


• Braided hair


• Ate Breakfast, also caught up on comics and even read a bit of Dreamwidth finally (I miss y'all, it's another symptom of the same Problem that is my brain right now.)


• Unloaded dishwasher, reloaded dishwasher


• Brought the load of laundry that's been in the dryer for three days upstairs finally (thanks Rey for basketing it, sorry to have left it)


• Brought a bunch of laundry downstairs, started it (load two is just in the washer now, and load one in the dryer)


• Switched my stuffies from their hamper into a steralite bin, eventually this will turn into like...one of those ottomans that opens up and you can store blankets (or stuffed animals) in but then it has a surface instead of being an amorphous blob sticking out of the top of a hamper, bonus, was able to use the hamper for my spare quilts/heavy blankets, double bonus, went through the stuffies a little and have some I can maybe give away.


• Folded most of the laundry from that old load, while putting it away, successfully went through underwear drawer and pulled out the "good enough to keep but I'm not going to wear it regularly" stuff to put in the "save for Pinewoods" box
  
  (At Pinewoods I would like to have approximately three pairs of underwear a day. If I do something absolutely batshit crazy this year, that will change, but I want to have the option to be able to wear clean underwear always.)


• Also socks, pulled out a handful of pairs I don't like so I stop wearing them by accident and being all :/ about it, also pulled out all the pairs that I know have big holes (they're currently due for the trash, but I may put some into my scraps bag instead)


• Got stuck in a serious yak shaving rabbit hole but I think I have finally managed to put the additional music I wanted onto my phone, and also I have taken off last year's photos, which is important because now my phone should run smoother? Anyways, that took forever but now I can listen to music while I do additional chores? Seems fake. I'm into it!


• I also reset the "accessories" boxen, which technically go with socks --long stockings, tights, kilt hose and accessories, suspenders and belts, scarves/pashminas. It's been a while, so that was good.


• I'm now sitting down to eat lunch. Laundry load two is on my bed upstairs to put away, load three is in the dryer, four in the washer. (I'm aiming for like...six? It wouldn't be so high, but a) I have been slipping on the "own more than one set of sheets so that you don't get trapped with an unmade bed by having all your sheets dirty at once" and so I need to catch up there *and* there's been some sort of funky smell in my t-shirts boxen for a couple months and I'm not sure what's up with that, but I think step one is probably just wash _all_ my t-shirts.
  
  On the plus side, that latter problem doesn't seem to be anywhere in my dresser except my shirts, so that's a good sign? I guess? I mean, mostly it just means there's probably not, like, a dead mouse behind my dresser or something (a thing I would not be able to rationally deal with)).

***

I wrote all of the above earlier. I've since finished all the laundry --it appears that the shirts no longer smell, so success-- and gone to demo team and hung out with Maia some, so all of that is quite good.

I couldn't maintain GOGOGO the entire day, but also like, I shouldn't have to? I shouldn't in general? It is important to do mindless fuckoff stuff as well as Srs Useful Stuff? Yeah.

I hope you are well. <3

Getting 6 loads of laundry done in a day would be amazing. Even finishing 4 is an accomplishment. The most I've ever managed is 3. It's not that laundry is *hard* but that I've always gotten focused on doing other things by the time load 3 was in the washer and then I've forgotten about it until late in the evening.

I think it worked out to 5 total. It helped that I had a deadline (wanted to have the last load in the dryer before I left for demo team rehearsal at 6pm) and that I really _really_ needed to wash all the shirts (because I want to figure out if whatever was making them smell funky was just being passed from shirt-to-shirt in the clean drawer, which I can only do if I know they've all gotten a chance to be real clean.)

It also really helps that our house is set up with the laundry in the basement, next to my roommate Rey's bedroom. So she is generally pretty proactive about texting when things need to be moved along, especially if I've mentioned I'm hoping to do a big laundry day.

My laundry is in the upstairs hallway, right outside my home office. That made it easy to run laundry when I was working. It was just a quick, stretch-my-body kind of break that I needed to take anyway to get up and load the washer or swap clothes to the dryer. The problem was, I'd invariably hit some part of the day where I was so focused on tasks for a few hours that I forgot about the laundry until dinnertime. And that could happen on a Saturday morning at least as easily as on a Tuesday.
