One of the few times I honestly ask myself “WHAT were you thinking???” about my new life is when it’s time to do laundry…
Step 1: Transfer laundry from attractive, grown-up hamper into college dorm pop-up laundry bag with a strap that allows me to carry it down….
Step 2: ….3 flights of stairs…
Step 3: …0ut the door and back in to the basement on the other side of the building
Step 4: Quarters, quarters and more quarters
Step 5: Go back up 3 flights and twiddle my thumbs (or read!) until wash is done
Step 6: Repeat Steps #2-5 to transfer into dryer
Step 7: Repeat all but the Quarters part to go retrieve and be done with it
And, oh, by the way — the trash room and bike room are in the same place as the laundry.
WHAT was I thinking???
The Next Chapter 
I remember those stairs! I recommend LOTS of extra sets of underwear, T-shirts, etc. And that basement … No way you want to stay down there reading until the laundry is done. Hang in there! Mom
Well, the good news is it doesn’t smell like there’s a gas leak down there any more 🙂 However, I AM dreading the trek once it gets really cold, snowy and icy in that parking lot….
