i needed to do the wash

we live in an apartment complex w/out washer/dryer hook-ups, which means we frequent the local laundry. well, with an icky rash this week on my stomach and the dog's skin problems, i've had two bags of laundry sitting beside the bed for the past couple of days. dh said we'd get up and go down to the 'nice' laundry tomorrow morning, but i just could not stand looking at those dirty clothes any more. like the character in the Gap Creek book.
