Well, my first full week in the land of the morning calm has come to an end. As I look out my window upon freedom's frontier I offer you these observations:
1. I have a load of laundry currently spinning in the "laundromat". As I was figuring out how to operate the washer I realized how much I truly appreciate how well Melissa takes care of me. Lets be honest, my whole adult life I have had my laundry taken care of. At The Citadel laundry consisted of stuffing my soiled and undesirables into a bag, filling out a ticket, and dropping said bag from the 4th story of Stevens Barracks to be collected by some sweaty knobs and dutifully sent to the laundry shop where it would returned on Friday cleaned and pressed. Then following my move to Germany I developed "levels of clothing cleanliness" which allowed to cut back the number of total washes which, coupled with Frau Kieselmaier sneaking into my apartment to clean and launder left very little laundry done on my own. But as is always the case being spoiled by clean laundry for the last four and a half years I yearn for that fresh out of the dryer smell. So, I decided to do a load. I was going to separate the clothing by colors and type, but figured to save time I would just throw it all in together. 15 more minutes and I will see how it will all turn out.
2. Today I got an awesome haircut! Period! Maybe one of the 20 best haircuts in my life. The thing about getting haircuts on army posts in the states is that they are all mostly staffed by Koreans. And lets just say the finished product isn't always top notch. So I was a little weary getting my first wig snip over here. I gave my standard "I don't want a high and tight" and she actually listened. I was so happy when she finished that I turned down the post hair cut massage (which, for the record, would not in any circumstances resulted in any happy endings) so she would not reconsider and put the blade back to my head. The haircut was a good ending to a busy week.
Now I can enjoy my weekend...wait, never mind, I am working this weekend...boo.

Glad it only took a week for you to figure that one out;) I hope your clothes don't come out all rainbow-ish.
ReplyDeleteHow did your clothes come out? Steve does wash the same way he just throws it all in and hopes for the best. Glad you got a good haircut that could have ruined your entire weekend.
