It's Friday.
It's laundry day.
So I loaded up the laundry-grocery cart
with dirty cloths
and drove to the laundromat.
Doing laundry on Friday morning
is a wonderful experience,
because the laundromat is almost empty
and I don't have to wait
for a washer or a dryer.
I don't have to carry quarters.
The laundromat I go to
is a twenty-fist century establishment;
they use debit cards
specifically attuned to the machines.
It's delightful to go in,
put my laundry card
in their debit machine
and know how much is on the card.
It's wonderful
to put bills into the debit card machine
and have it added to my laundry card.
Doing laundry
in the twenty-first century
is less stressful.

Laundry Day in Las Vegas
Kamál (Perfection), 4 Qudrat (Power), 167 BE – Monday, November 7, 2011 about 3:12 PM Pacific Time
It’s Monday afternoon and the only thing I accomplished this morning was laundry. It took me 2 ½ hours to do three loads of laundry. The only cloths I washed today were mine. I still have some of Mom’s to do, but that will have to wait until Thursday. I still can’t use the washer here at home because it needs a sleeve to prevent the water from over flowing into the wall during the spin cycle.
I could get a lot more accomplished at home if I could do laundry here. I could do one or two loads a day and hang them on the line. I have a wonderful cloths line in my backyard. It’s circular and turns so that I can stand in one spot and hang cloths out.
I like the scent of cloths dried out doors. I remember my grandmother always hung her cloths outside to dry. They smelled so nice and fresh. I use fabric softener; however, I can’t use the fabric softener. When I hang cloths outside they have a nice aroma without using a scented laundry detergent or fabric softener.
