You might be asking yourself....why does Sarah have pictures of laundry on her blog... Well, it's because our washer and dryer have been broken since May 17th and I wanted to explain what a big pain in the butt it is. Yes, graciously, our landlords have told us to take our laundry to the wash n fold, keep the receipt and deduct the cost from our rent...but I don't think that they have any urgency in fixing it or any understanding of how much of a hassle it is to lug 5 bags of laundry down the steps, around the block, up 2 miles in the car, unload 5 bags, deal with the guy who barely speaks English, remember to get/keep a receipt, unload the 5 bags, walk around the block, walk through a crowded Greek restaurant and up the skinny steps to our apartment. We realistically run our washer/dryer (when it's working) every other day, just to keep up with all the clothes we wear to work and to the gym. Have you ever had a pair of your husband's stinky sweat drenched gym clothes sit in the laundry basket for more than 2 days - it is not a pleasant sight or smell. They were suppose to deliver the washer/dryer last week, when they arrived the found out that because the washer/dryer was so old the electrical socket needed to be updated for the new washer/dryer. Great....just another delay. Today the new washer/dryer and new outlet are suppose to arrive and be installed. We'll see if it actually happens.
