The Story
It’s Saturday. The weather is amazing and sunny. The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and I have a pile of laundry 5ft high that needs washing. Just what I want to do on a day like this! But it’s a nice day outside and I can just hang my laundry out to dry.
I start my laundry, load one,… I take it outside and start hanging it. Of course, by now the wind has picked up. When I come back later with load two the first load of hanging laundry is laying on the fresh cut grass… of course it is….
So, off I go looking for my clothes pins to keep everything stables. They reside in the same plastic bag that I purchased them in. Picture as plastic bag with several holes, no visible top or bottom, pins falling out in all directions when you pick it up, but somehow with all the holes in the bag, moisture will not escape so they are also sopping wet.
I take them outside, losing half of them on the way… and try to attach them to my clothes. But of course, they are falling all over the ground, I have nowhere to place them so they are handy… so the struggle continues… or as I like to say, the struggle is real.
After getting the first load of laundry fixed, finish hanging the second and third loads I decided this just wasn’t going to work. Especially since the summer just started! More laundry will dry outside!
