during, and after

<-- Is it just me or is this the WORST advertisement for casual apparel you've EVER seen? Is that a guy? A girl? Seriously, I cannot tell. Is Androgynously Ugly some kind of new marketing strategy?

Mkay, opted to start smack in the middle of things, with Project #3. Laundry. Weeded out every last article of dirty clothing and every last unwashed linen, headed down to the "laundromat" and proceeded to monopolize all four washers. Considering the cycle's only 40 minutes and I was there before 9:30 a.m. (and there were no notes posted for me when I got back), I don't think I could have pissed off *too* many people. Still, I hate when others monopolize all the machines so I made sure I got back there in plenty of time to get my stuff out (so I could then monopolize three dryers). Gotta go back to start the next dryer cycle.

3:40 p.m. First "after" pic. That, my friends, is the closet floor. The stuff still in the closet is a bunch of bags - travel duffels and the like. Every scrap of laundry has been dealt with. Ninety percent was washed, dried, and folded. Five percent was put in the "toss" bin. The remaining five percent is a confounding assortment of things with which I'm not sure what to do. Sentimental t-shirts, for instance. They're no longer my style and I can honestly say I'll never wear them again, but there are so many memories attached to them. If only I were a quilter. Then there are things like, articles of clothing that belong to other people that I don't see anymore. Do they want them back? Is it worth finding out? Probably not. Anyway, Project 3 only took six hours. Pretty sure that the four other projects will be less time (and energy) consuming. Time for an ice cream sandwich.
