Laundromat Vs. In-Home Savings

We still do not have the dryer working, even though it ought to be a priority.

We went back and forth with the neighbor maintenance helper trying to arrange a conversion for the mismatched 3-prong cord to 4-hole plug in the wall.

Being unable to have our schedules align for final verdict put off just buying a simple converter.

And besides, I still have to take all of my client linens to the laundry.

A Passing Encounter

As she waited in line to order, she noticed the guy behind the counter as the one that before had caught her attention.

Older than the rest of the staff, he had nice skin and was into some body building.

Usually, she did not look long, and rarely did she make any eye contact.

But today, she did both – at the same time he broke his usual distant mode and broke both, right back looking at her.

Flustered, she resolved to not keep looking, and focused on stretching her arms against her body, for they were spasmed tight from three days of intense work.

But then, he broke pattern and walked against the flow of customers to just in front of her to firmly adjust the rope blocking the quick entrance, which did not need adjusting.

Then when she was ordering, he kept hard-wiping the counter in front-side to her, even though he could have done so more quickly.

She could not go any further than to notice this as he finally disappeared from view.

What was she supposed to do? Say “hello” and give the younger man her phone number?

That just wasn’t something she was going to do.

Inner Light

She was dreaming she walked along a bouldevard and then into a popular clothing outlet where all the classy, free-wheeling-due-to-having-excess-spending- cash females of varying ages were chattering while shopping.

She knew better than to look at the most current trends of cloth where high dollar was spent, but then the clothes shrank or had some other sooner-then-later flawing appear once one got attached and had imvested so much in them.

Arriving at the clearance racks, she sorted through the picked over remnants, commenting to herself how it was difficult to find a blouse that complimented her large bossom and did not make her look matronly.

There was a loose-fitting burnt-orange-hued strapped blouse – and then she found the prize, suddenly realizing that it is the combination of pieces that makes or breaks presentation of an outfit.

Slipping on the shorts covered artfully in beade-edged mirrors in such a way as to accent her curves and bring flashes of light with every movement, she squeeled with delight in finding a combo representation of her true identity.
