One of the "sacrifices" I decided to make was to give up having a washer/dryer in our apt. I was being a pretty big brat about this in the beginning, but I had a change of heart. Besides, its part of the urban experience & it builds character, right?! After seeing the apt's that had them, I realized they took up valuable storage space and they were the tiniest washers/dryers on the planet! Usable space is key, people!
So far, my experience with the community laundry has been pretty good. The other day, I was able to do 5 loads of laundry in an hour & a half! boo yah! And the best part, laundry is FREE right now! Normally you have to pay about $1.50 but you have to load the money on a card. Well...the card machine is broken so free laundry for the whole building! Whoo-hoo! I have also come to realize that not all the washers/dryers work so I'm trying to take note so when it does start costing me $$$ I won't waste $1.50 on a dryer that won't try my clothes! :)
hi beth, sounds like you had a good time washing clothes.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting your fun life in Chicago. My friend from there indicated that you and Matt must be living pretty good because you are in a "swanky" part of town. The best part about it is that you are so close to everything. YEAH YOU!!!!
