Even in this high-tech age, the laundry monster must still be subdued. For me, it is especially a challenge now because I don’t have the appliances I need to get the laundry done. So, I’ve resorted to something more primitive - washing my clothes by hand.

It’s not that hard and I have done this before. My main problem is wringing them out enough so they aren’t dripping wet when I hang them up to dry. Truth is, I just can’t get the water wrung out of the clothes sufficiently to prevent this. It occurs to me that I need a wringer. Really, I need a washing machine, but for now, if I had a wringer I could do a little better.

I have some clothes hanging in the bathroom now. After my shower, I washed a few items and put them on hangers in the bathroom, over the tub. It’s supposed to be rainy Wednesday, which means I don’t want them hanging outside just getting wetter. Besides, I have to have a couple of the items for work in the morning!

I suppose I could say I’m living “green” by hand washing my clothes, and that does make me feel better.
