Wed. May 27, 2026: Laundry & Other Dilemmas

Waxing Moon
Pluto Retrograde
Cloudy and warm
Mid-week, here we are.
After yesterday’s morning chores, I settled into work. I wanted to go back to I WILL BE DIFFERENT, but it needs to sit for a bit, so I can look at it with fresh eyes.
Checked with the problematic client. No work right now (it’s been nearly two months, and even when we had breaks in previous years, it was never more than two weeks), but they have a listing up to hire more freelancers. Right. I used to be able to count on that gig in that I could ease up a bit when I had other deadlines, and ramp up when I wanted to make a little extra. Now, I just can’t count on it at all. I do need to get a few other things into position before I make a final decision, but I see the writing on my wall, at least.
I printed out directions and maps on the route I want to the hotel in S. Deerfield, then from the hotel to the theatre in Greenfield, and also to the diner where I want to eat breakfast the next morning (the hotel is very no frills, which means no breakfast). My car is too old for GPS, and if I put Murder Maps into my phone, it often sniffily states that GPS “dropped out” if I don’t do exactly what they say when they say it, even if so doing would kill me. (Hence, Murder Maps).
So I print maps and directions instead.
Bea still hasn’t forgiven me for trying to get her to read a map. When I first brought her home from Beacon, Murder Maps tried to send us into a lake and then dropped out. I pulled over near said lake and pulled out a paper map and showed it to her, telling her we had to figure out the rest of the way home. She looked at me with, “I’m a feral cat from another state. I got nothing.”
I’ll put the directions together in the folder with my hotel confirmation, and then print out the script and put it in a small binder next week (it’s only a 15-minute play), and I’ll be all set. Toss in a notebook and whatever book I choose to take with me, and the script bag is packed. Okay, two books, because I can never take just one book.
Fingers crossed that’s not the day my “word” shows up for the exquisite corpse poem. A couple of years ago, I got the word to start my poem as I drove to the Small Business Expo in Dalton, so I sat at a picnic table and worked on the poem before the event began. I worked it some more when I got home, and sent it off by deadline. I know I can do it; I would just prefer it was more spread out. And no, I can’t request another day. You do the poem the day you’re up. That’s part of the deal.
Had troubling getting back into the rhythm of BETTING MAN, and didn’t get much done.
Dashed out to the library, where I dropped off a big stack of books and picked up a slightly smaller stack of books. Lunch was created from lettuce we’ve grown and things from our CSA box. It was very good.
I did some repotting, and put some of the plants that need to be out on the back balcony out there. I still have to get the shelf unit out there, probably tomorrow.
Turned my attention to the ghostwriting. I had a good session and am almost where I hoped to be by the end of the day, even with the research forays.
Changed, and headed to yoga. Yoga was good, but for some reason, my hip felt worse after class than going in. Don’t know what’s going on with that.
Heated up leftovers for dinner, read a bit.
Slept reasonably well. Up early to get most of the morning routine done before hauling the laundry out. I will fold it and put it away after breakfast.
On today’s agenda: writing, ghostwriting, picking up the CSA box this afternoon, a literary committee meeting tonight. So I better get going!

Are "Eco" settings in laundry machines a scam?
I wanted to try that setting on ours, and it has been running FAR longer than the normal ones. How can it be ecological for it to go on double the the time (or more, since it has been like 3 hours now....), using up electricity the entire time?
I would need to wash more clothes but the damn thing wont quit washing up. (=_=)*

Fri. May 8, 2026: Always More Laundry
image courtesy of kp yamu Jayanath from PixabayFriday, May 8, 2026
Waning Moon
Pluto Retrograde
Cloudy and hard frost
It’s Friday, yay! So pleased about that.
I was out the door yesterday right after breakfast to the grocery store. Did the big early-in-the-month shop, getting things for the week’s meal plan, replacing staples, and a little shopping for the apocalypse. This weekend, I need to rearrange a couple of shelves in the pantry, and maybe crate a few things to store elsewhere in the house. I tend to keep a well-stocked pantry anyway, and I’m just building us a bit of a buffer. In general, I replace what I use to keep the pantry stocked, and then, here and there, I’ve been tossing in a couple of extra staples.
I got my mother’s favorite cheesecake because it’s Mother’s Day this weekend.
The CSA starts next Wednesday, and will be every other week until the day before I go into the residency in October. Picking up the CSA on Wednesdays means I can meal plan and do the rest of the shopping on Thursdays, except for what I’ll get at the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays (and I probably won’t go every Saturday, although I do want to get eggs from my favorite egg vendor as often as possible). That should keep us fresh and balanced throughout the week, with only basics from the actual grocery store most weeks. In general, I’ve found Thursday an easier shopping day for what’s in the store than Fridays around here.
Ran another errand after the grocery, then up to the library, where I dropped off a few books and picked up a big old stack! Hauled everything home, up the stairs, and put it away. Paged through some of the books. I got a bunch of cookbooks, and there are two, in particular, that have a lot of recipes I want to try. I love test driving cookbooks from the library. If I really like a cookbook, I’ll make a few recipes from it and see how they work. If they do and I like more than 10 recipes in a cookbook, I’ll usually hunt down a copy to own.
I realized I dropped the ball on marketing on Wednesday, because I was so deep into the ghostwriting. I did Wednesday and Thursday’s marketing, then joined the Freelance Friends chat, which was fun.
After lunch, I finished the literary committee work and got it back to the committee chair, so she can do what she needs to do for our next meeting. Then, I switched over to the ghostwriting.
The meeting I thought I had yesterday evening was moved to next week, when I have another commitment, so I don’t have to worry about it.
Dinner, read a bit, noodled with some ideas for some things. The table that went splat really did splat – three of the four legs came out of their joints. They fasten with screws, and aren’t twisting back in, so I think I will just position them and then glue them. A task for the weekend. Nothing that was on the table broke, thank goodness.
Up early, got my yoga and morning meditation done before I hauled out two loads of laundry to the car and went to the laundromat. I had to scrape frost of my car. Once again, I hadn’t worn a coat, which was not the smart choice. Oh, well.
I will have an extra load of laundry for the next few weeks, while I catch up on getting the winter furniture covers, the quilts, blankets, etc. washed from the season and put away. Although with another hard frost today, I don’t want to be too hasty on those quilts.
Two loads of laundry through, and I managed to screech around the corner before the construction crew closed off the bottom of our street again. I’m so sick and tired of the lack of communication.
While the laundry was running, I started reading BACK THEN, the joint memoir by Anne Bernays and Justin Kaplan. When I re-read the book of NY TIMES essays by writers, one of the ones I liked a lot was by Anne Bernays. I then read TROPHY HOUSE, her novel set on Cape Cod, which I enjoyed, and I have PROFESSOR ROMEO in my TBR pile from the library. Not only do I enjoy the writing in this memoir, it contains a lot of details that are useful in the Milly section of my play I WILL BE DIFFERENT. Enjoyment and useful research – gotta love it.
The plan for today is doing my 15-minute free write, working on BETTING MAN, and then the ghostwriting. Somewhere in there, I will fold the laundry and put it away, and empty the big bag of dry cat food into the smaller, more workable jars. Over the weekend, I plan to celebrate my mom, do the weekend housework, some ironing, and maybe some sewing. I will probably do some work on BETTING MAN, too. If I can figure out what I want to do for the extended anthology call, I may do a first draft of that as well.
Have a great weekend, and we’ll catch up next week!

So I did a wash which contained a pair of trousers and a red towel. The towel had been washed a couple of times but apparently it is still shedding. Nothing else in the wash got even the tiniest bit of fluff on it. Nice little job for me this evening. #laundry
