Today my laundry is going
around and around down there in the garage.
I’m giving myself permission to have the election news on while the
machines do my work for me.
When I was a very small
kid, we had a wringer and tub machine. I
wasn’t allowed to touch it and was
continuously warned about getting my hand caught in the wringer. I still remember the excitement of the day
when the Bendix arrived with its round glass window on the front of the machine. It did all the work, and you could watch it
to it. The truth was, Dolly and Kathy
did the actual work while mother went to work at the office.
Today I sorted out piles
of dark clothes and light clothes. I
cursed the soap container that persisted in leaking all over everything. There were even moments where I felt happily
domestic though not at all domesticated.
I’ve never been that.
Trump is much like the
dirty dark pile of clothing. I can’t see
the dirt on the dark fabrics, but I know it’s there. Hillary Clinton is much like the lighter
shirts and socks. The lighter pieces
show the dirt clearly…especially George’s socks, but with a little work on my
part, I can make it all vanish.
Here's hoping for a good outcome today. Keep sewing and ripping -- eventually, you'll reach the end of both tasks and your top will be finished. It's just an over and over progress to the finish line. Hugs and love to you and G.
ReplyDeleteEach time you mention the 52 week project you make me feel very guilty.
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh. Wait till I start procrastinating on the Christmas stuff. LOL
DeleteHope they find a new auditor to lift the load soon. My maternal grandmother had a Bendix. We thought it was amazing. Washed and dried.
ReplyDeleteLove the washing analogy for the candidates. Refreshing to read after all the other stuff that's been said. Well done and good luck!
ReplyDeleteApparently America likes dark laundry.
ReplyDeleteHillary is the winner, she can leave DC and work on the foundation she and Bill established and actually get something done. Donald should receive the condolences.
ReplyDeletePS my sweet son called from CA last evening to let me know he was dropping off his ballot for Hillary.
