Adventures in Laundry

The income restrictions of grad school life make you a bit more creative, I think...

The rate of water flow into our washing machine has slowed to a trickle, meaning it can easily take two hours to do one load. I'm rarely here for two hours straight (plus drying time) during waking hours (and we can't do laundry during sleeping hours because the thin wall between the washer and Jennifer's room leave Jennifer surrounded by noise comparable to a train passing by...), so I just don't do laundry more often than every three weeks.

Alas, today I hit very close to the three week mark, but had to leave sooner than two hours after Jennifer was awake. My solution? Help the washer fill faster! But having no buckets or empty gallon jugs, I pulled the top out of the Brita pitcher. 10 pitchers from the wash basin later, the washer was ready.

We really need to call the landlord.
