. . . and finish the job!
This picture is of a small portion of laundry that I was folding this morning, and I was reminded of how I used to do this. First I would dump the laundry on the bed. Then I would let it marinate for awhile. Then it would be bedtime, so I’d have to scoop it back into the basket. (Jim calls this activity “exercising the laundry.”) Then it might go back and forth a couple more times. Then I’d go through it and sort it out into everyone’s pile. Then, and only then, would I finally fold it all up and put it away. What a waste of time! At some point I realized that all I really needed to do was to just start folding and put the things in piles as I folded them. Huh. What a concept. If you have a job you don’t want to do, why add extra steps to make it even harder? But that’s what (some of us) weird humans do. Pretty silly!
