Women on Friday - “An Office in the Laundry!”

Filed under: Many Messages — Linda Fitzgerald @ 6:45 am

I’ve got a terrible problem!

My friend’s brother died; the funeral is this a.m. & I have no fresh clean clothes to wear!  Literally!

You see, I get the clothes in the washer (which is in the basement, ugh) and a few days later - in the dryer.  Then they lay there waiting for someone to take them out; fold them (or hang on hangers) and carry them up 2 flights of stairs!  When one is “up to the eyebrows” each day just trying to stay on top of business; laundry can be a menacing distraction!

I think I’ve found a solution though!  Short of moving washer, dryer, ironing board (what’s that you might ask) and all the assorted trinkets required to do the clothes; I’m considering moving my office to the basement!  Only challenge is - the lighting is poor; there’s no windows & it’s very lonely there.

That’s why the fancy treadmill that would reduce the bulge at my middle sits idly in the corner!

Seriously, for those of us who primarily work from home; working the home can be a real challenge!  If we must stop what we’re doing to move business forward to attend to some mundane “home management” chore - well what’s the use?

You may think this is a ‘tongue-in-cheek’ post for the day, but I’m serious!  I’m mulling in my brain how to combine office space with laundry space.  When I get it all worked out, I’ll share it here so those of you who face the same or similar challenge can be adequately informed.

In the meantime, I’ll search the closet for some “in the back of the closet” outfit appropriate for the task at hand.

Ah, it’s probably in the basement!

Have an awesome day with all the ‘home management’ chores under control & clean clothes ‘to boot’!
