As it turned out, doing laundry yesterday was so exhausting that I didn't do much of anything afterward. The actual doing of the laundry wasn't so bad, but the hauling of two pillowcases and a laundry bag, all full, down to the laundromat and back on foot in hot, humid weather was Not Fun. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had a full bottle of laundry soap to deal with too; that stuff is bloody heavy! Laundry by itself isn't heavy as much as it is awkward.

I did survive, of course. I'm about as sore as I used to get the day after going climbing, and most of the soreness seems to have settled in my left shoulder. At least it's the good kind of sore, the "you used these muscles for once" kind, as opposed to the "you did something stupid and now you're going to have to heal for a week" kind.

The lesson learned is, the next time I have to do laundry, I shouldn't throw all the bedding and towels in with it unless I have wheels to put under it.

You should get one of those little refillable travel-sized shampoo bottles for your laundry soap - take just as much as you need to the laundromat.

That is a brilliant idea! Come to think of it, I have a shampoo bottle that's almost run out; I could use that...thanks!
