• All my hard work was worthless...

  I awoke yesterday to a beautiful breezy day. The perfect day to do laundry. I was in a good mood because I like being outside even if it is just to hang laundry. So laundry I did. It was such a good day that it was taking about 2 hours to dry instead of the whole day.

  Load after load I was doing and had only taken down 2 of the six I had washed when I walked outside to check on it and found to my horror of horrors my laundry was covered in sawdust!!!

  The neighbors far and wide heard my scream of shock and dismay!!!!  

  I went up to the house that is above, vacant but being worked on and found, they had been cutting wood on the balcony right above my laundry and then sweeping the dust down my way. Over 4 loads of laundry, they were nice and promised to not do so again and to cut down on the ground level but then they ruined my good opinion of them when they said it wasn't bad, all I had to do is shake the laundry to get the wood dust out.

  Of course, I had a reply, not a nice one. I did keep my mouth shut but I did inform them that it would be really uncomfortable to wear anything that had any amount of saw dust in or on it. It would be terrible to have that itchy small wood chip in ones unders or shirt or pants.

  They were apologetic about it but I still had to do 4 loads of laundry over. 

  Guess what, I am still doing the loads over and today they aren't drying as fast because there is no wind, the air is colder AND there is more moisture in the air.

  Well, I guess that the work will be done by tomorrow or so.
