The DU Lounge

The washer's spin cycle at the end doesn't work so all the laundry comes out soaking wet, as if I'd washed it all by hand and the dryer doesn't work at all. I have a wooden drying rack and short clothesline in the basement so I can hang wet clothes to dry. But towels, sheets, blankets and the bedspread must be taken to the laundromat. I was just there yesterday.

The only good thing I can say about the laundromat is that you can do lot of loads at once. But it is expensive to wash; $4.00 for the small washer. The dryer is more reasonable, a quarter for six minutes. I initially put in enough money for 36 minutes, but sometimes I have to keep adding more quarters to get everything completely dry.

Don't get me started on some of the weird people I've seen at the laundromat. I try to go on the slower days but even then, I might see one.

A new washer and dryer are on my wish list, but not in my budget at this time.
