Wow, a laundry machine, who would have
thunk it? I believe I have said that
after hand washing my clothes for over a year I will never complain about doing
the laundry again back home in the States.
Yesterday confirmed that.
A couple of weeks ago one of our
Peace Corps Togo organizations Gender and Development (GAD) had an auction to
raise money to support gender related projects and one of our medical staff
donated five loads of laundry in her laundry machine, and I won. I redeemed by first load yesterday morning.
It was awesome.
I stuck my clothes into the
machine, added a little soap, and pushed a button. A couple hours later I moved my clothes to
the dryer and BAM! my clothes were clean.
No blistered fingers, cracked skin, or aching back necessary. I lounged around read my book and napped.
And can I talk further about that
amazing out of the dryer feel? That
warmth that is so dry it is cozy? I was sweating as I folded my clothes, but I
wanted to wrap myself in my freshly laundered clothes and I don’t know, just
cuddle with them. It was great. If I had the plumbing hook up I might have
gone right then and there and bought myself a laundry machine and dryer.
Heaven.
