I lost my laundry card.
I had three bags of laundry to do. I couldn't find my laundry card which I keep on my bookcase. I was all ready to do my laundry so I looked around frantically for it but couldn't see it. I was trying to think of all the possibilities, I even emailed my bf asking him if he happened to have it in one of his pockets, but I knew it had to be here somewhere.
So I brought 2 of the 3 bags downstairs and figured I would just buy another laundry card from the vending machine. (This was Sunday night.) On the way down, I was wondering if the machine took $5 bills. Well I got down there and discovered that it didn't take $5s, it took loonies. 5 loonies, all at the same time! As in one of those machines that you can buy stickers out of. I was so mad! I didn't have 5 loonies!! I only had one loony! One!
So, I dragged my bags back upstairs and resigned my self to wearing "old" underwear for a third, Yes, a third! day in a row.
While falling asleep, I was planning ways to procure loonies the next day.
On Monday morning, I went to the cafeteria and bought a chocolate croissant. I figured I could get all my loony needs covered there. I got back $8. I asked the cashier if I could change the $5 for loonies and twoonies, since I got 3 from him and only needed one more. He said he couldn't, that he needed the change. Meanwhile I'm looking in the till and seeing a ton of loonies in there. I wanted to yell at him, But I desperately need to do laundry! Do you want me wearing the same underwear three days in a row? Do you? Do you?!
I didn't though. I didn't think the small audience around me would appreciate it.
So I had to figure out where to get one more loony. I thought of begging my coworkers for it but I was too shy. When I went out at lunch, I tried to figure out what I could buy with $5 that would give me a loony. I was returning a book at the City Hall public library when it hit me. There are always chip trucks and hot dog stands out front of City Hall on Queen St. I would buy something from one of them. I went over and saw two hotdog stands right beside each other. When I was comparing their prices to see if they were the same - they were - the vendors each started calling to me for my business. That freaked me out so I smiled and walked by and I walked further down to another hot dog stand. This stand was by itself - and had the same prices - and was manned by a female, so I thought, I 'll support my sister, and decided to buy a dog from her. I asked her what the difference between italian, polish and german sausage was. She said italian was really spicy and i think she said polish ones were too, so I asked for a german sausage. I figured it should be good 'cause Germany is where Oktoberfest happens, isn't it? It was tasty. It cost $4 which means...I was able to get my final loony! Yeah!
So I was able to do laundry that night.
I had one dryer going while filing another dryer. I occasionally opened the first dryer to add more stuff that didn't need as much dry time. When I open the door, the dryer would just automatically stop and I'd start it again after. One of these times, when I opened the door, guess what decided to fly out of the dryer, right at my feet? The missing laundry card!!! Argh!!!!! It must've been in one of the pockets of my clothes that I had just laundered. Argh!!!!
Now I have two laundry cards. Shit, I better check where I put them...
Flippin'!! I don't know where I put them! Argh!!!!
