Sunday/laundry day!

Hola!

I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have been sick this whole weekend. Thursday I was very tired and I could feel myself coming down with something. Sure enough, Friday and Saturday I was pretty miserable and hiding out at home. So basically, this weekend consisted of a lot of reading, movie-watching, and sleeping. I don't have a TV and I still don't have Internet, so I'm pretty much in the Dark Ages having to watch movies that I rented on my MacBook and reading books from my Kindle. Go ahead, feel sorry for me.

Today I am feeling much better, I just cant stop blowing my nose. Lovely, right? Anyway, since I have been pretty unable to do anything this whole weekend if it involved getting off the couch, I had to start being productive today and this morning I started laundry. I thought you, dearest friend or family member, would find it interesting how different doing laundry is here. In my apartment I have a washing machine (as does pretty much everyone here), BUT there is no dryer. I think very few people, if any, own driers here. Instead, everyone line-dries their clothes. To be perfectly honest, when I first moved into my apartment I spent a few days looking for the dryer. There was a brand-new washing machine, so surely they hadn't forgotten the second half of the clothes-washing process, right? I'm such a silly American. I mentioned my lack of dryer to a friend here, and very politely she told me I could buy something to hang my clothes on to dry them at Carrefour (the Walmart of Spain). Hahaha, oops.

Drawbacks of not having a drier: well, it takes much longer for my clothes to dry and I have to start laundry first thing in the morning if I want my sheets dry by the time I go to bed, and I tend to run out of places to hang my wet clothes.

The sunny side: I'm saving that much more energy, I have less of a chance of my clothes shrinking, and I'm learning about that one virtue, patience, and knowing that I will never again take driers for granted once I go back home!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday! And if it is laundry day for you, be thankful for the convenience of having a drier :)

LOVE AND MISS ERRBODY!
