what a person will do to avoid going to the laundromat

So we get home after 10 days on the road with all this dirty laundry, and our almost brand-new washing machine goes on the fritz and needs a part that, of course, the repair guy won't have til next Tuesday.

Neither of us has been in a laundromat since we were in our 20s and the prospect seems unappealing, so we're considering beating our clothes on a rock and hanging them on the clothesline.  Hey, we have the rocks (down by the creek) and we have the so far-unused clothesline, so why not?

Otherwise, it's cool to be home.

Added later:  We took the easy way out and bought enough new underwear to last until Tuesday.  :-)
