So, school is out now, no routine, AND the laundromat I've been using for two years is closing so I had to find another one. I know none of my friends will understand wuite how disturbing the fact that I am going to be using the new laundromat is. I used it today, it's not hard to get to, it's not that inconvenient, it's all-in-all a pretty decent place, but... it's NEW, and laundry is a BIG thing for me. I shell out at least $50 every month in quarters, I figured. three loads a week, in little washers; two loads on Sunday and one on Thursday. I can't have a washer or drier in my apartment, and the one in my building doesn't always accept your money and overlaods with a single pair of pants (no exaggeration) so it's not worth the hassle. the landlord is too cheap to buy a new washer. So, anyway, I'm kind of obsessing about the new laundromat.
One issue is that I wanted somethig close to my groceyr store, because I have a whole drop-shop-switch-home-pickup routine with laundry and groceries so everything gets done the same day. Now, it's kinda too close to my store! I got the shopping done today and back to the laundry ten minutes before the cycle was done. It may be becasue I picked a washer with an unnessessarily large capacity (there's a million different complicated sizes) but it may occur even with a little washer. There is another laundromat in the opposite direction of the store and of my house, equidistant (4-5 miles) from my house but near an inferior grocery store and has the same problem anyway. I guess one option presented to me, to drop the laundry off, shop, go to my house, drop off the groceries, go back out, switch, go back home, wait forty minutes, go back out, pick up, come home, is still more convenient than using the other laundromat in the opposite dircteion of my grocery store, or at least equal, and the other laundromat overloads a lot.
Funny how something so simple has me so bothered. I'll feel better about it when I've been using this laundromat for a month or so and have a "system."
