There is a 24 hour laundromat in my neighborhood, less than a half mile away. I have used it before, when I have washing machine woes, and sometimes, to access their over sized washing machines. I went this morning with a load of laundry, due to the drain problems I am having.
This is a fairly clean laundromat, although it is not really new, it is updated. It was not busy. People wait for their laundry in various ways: staring at the machines, talking to someone they know or strangers, listening to music, reading, doing word puzzles, eating. I suppose the regulars get to know the attendant, and visit with that person. I did not see an attendant today, and I am not sure there is always an attendant at this laundromat. I am glad it is there, and that is so accessible and convenient.
Today's trip was painless. I had to find some quarters. I loaded up, got to the laundromat, loaded the clothes, and worked the puzzles in the Sunday newspaper. The washing machine cycle was 25 minutes. I really did not pay attention to time. I completed the Sunday puzzles, and the cycle was done, and probably had been for quite a while.
The dryer is working, so I brought the clothes home to dry.
