I have found a soul brother. I am completely with you on the Sisyphean chore. Thanks too for giving me a good laugh in this endlessly dark times we are living in.

I sat down to do some browsing on Substack as a reward for hanging out a batch of clothes to dry from the washing machine. Your article was up there on top. There must be some message in this synchronicity.

the Donald Trump of chores hahahaha ! I really can't speak but out of ALL the things one supposedly does to run a household, laundry isn't too bad. as you said, rotate 90 degrees and press. the drying may disagree with your home aesthetics but at least is not washing dishes! ew

Sorry. Strong disagree. Washing dishes is taxing and, yes, ewww++ but it's one and done. Laundry is so many steps.

hmmmmm dishes are two steps: wash AND put away (either towel dry and put away or air dry and put away, regardless). as a manicured person with an aversion to using gloves, I don't like it. we can share a house if you want and never fight over chores

Very funny.

I love doing laundry. It's a daily ritual. Just a few days ago, I downloaded a guide to help me decipher all the little symbols on clothes, so I could separate the ones that are meant to be laundered at 40° from the ones that need a cold wash. It's like reading hieroglyphics.
