The Changing Tone Of Laundry

Yesterday I did my laundry for the first time since losing my job. I hadn't expected to have any epiphanies, minor or otherwise, while washing my clothes and my lack of expectations were, for the most part, fully met.

Or were they? I was surprised by certain thoughts that I had while I was engaged in my domestic endeavor:

I'm doing the wash on a Tuesday night. This, for me, is an extraordinary break from routine, Sunday is my traditional washing day. Like most persons in recovery, I am a creature of habit, so making a change may be significant...hopefully in a good way.

----------------------------------------------
A lot of bad things have happened recently and I'm not drunk. There are worse things than being depressed...being drunk, miserable, self-destructive and dangerous, for instance. The simple fact that I'm doing several loads of laundry displays a certain proactive and optimistic behavioral pattern generally not found in drunkards and addicts. I hope so, anyway.

--------------------------------------------------

I sort my laundry into two categories: Work and Other.

1) Work: This includes items that require special treatment and tools, i.e., careful folding and the use of coat-hangers. I have very little Work attire in this batch of laundry...no reason to dress up, after all.

2) Other: Everything else. Forget about sorting the colors, after the first time it doesn't matter anyway.

----------------------------------------------------
Have I mentioned my new PC lately? Probably not, since I've been so busy mucking about with my new toy to do much blogging ...even after heavy upgrades, my old PC was too slow for video streams or most post-2004 software and games- my new PC streams Fringe episodes like a racehorse and, after a bit of precariously auto-didactic overclocking, plays Fallout 3 at respectable settings. What more could a guy want?

Well...
