It's that time of year when people add a little more hustle and bustle to their step. The days get shorter while our lists gets longer. Holiday parties, family visits, and shopping are added to the everyday chaos. Michele and I were saying that even though these events are fun, sometimes the most mundane of chores can become...well...a big chore. The laundry is my nemesis this time of year. I can barely keep up while it multiplies. And for that, I am not thankful. Here are my 57 words to express this feeling:
Beep
beep beep. A reminder downstairs. The clothes need to be emptied from
the dryer. Where’s the basket? The freshly spun load needs to be
flipped over to the dryer. Add a dryer sheet...or two. One more of the
dirty piles of towels needs to be put into the washer. Detergent poured.
Lather, rinse, and repeat.

In short, Michele and I will post a picture or video with a writing prompt
on the 1st and 15th of every month. All you need to do is respond in 57
words or less. In any form. We love creativity. And, with each prompt,
we'll feature a writer from the previous link-up. Which reminds me ...

DeleteI have a confession to make: most of the time we live out of our clean laundry baskets, cuz clean clothes don't often get folded and placed neatly in drawers. But hey, at least there's clean clothes, right?
