  • I miss my old laundry room~!!

    *Grammar-adjusted version.

    Man, this is horrible to live without my own laundry room.

    Yesterday I did laundry and some exercise at the same time. When I started my NJ life here in James’ house I was very surprised at the size of his laundry machine. However the truth was inhuman!  In NY, NJ area, most apartment don’t have an individual laundry room or even a single laundry appliance. If the laundry facilities are in your apartment you are very lucky and you should…no..you must feel happy. You do not want to go to laundromat in this weather. You might have to wear same underwear for a week!! which is ok unexpectedly cuz it’s very cold so you don’t get sweaty unless you do this.

    The reason I can do this is I have a laundry facility in my apartment!! Praise the Lord!!

    So yesterday I had some laundry to do and went to the laundry room with a laundry basket. And then I recognized I forgot the soap. Man~! It’s OK. I’m allowed to forget something much more important. So I came back home and got the soap and went back to laundry room. An hour later I went back to the laundry room and realized that I forgot dryer sheet. Drying laundry without the sheet makes me frustrated and ( I guess…) Eugy mad. Because I can always dry them in my house which is very very arid and drys laundry like a stiff  squid. So!! I had to come back and bring the freaking the dryer sheet to the laundry room again. I was actually very thankful an hour ago but at that moment I was cursing this apartment building. I was not able to forgive myself for making the same mistake again. About 1 hour later I went to the laundry room and brought my laundry home.

    What was my problem?

    I ‘m living on 5th floor and the laundry facilities are on the 1st floor. We don’t have an elevator.

    I truly miss my old laundry room with the soap & the dryer sheet altogether. (even with OxiClean!)
