Laundry Realizations I hate doing laundry, so I usually put it off for as long as I can. Well, yesterday came time and as I was doing the boring task of putting all my clean clothes away, I had a little bit of a system going. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I had all of my shirts to be hung laid out on my lap, and various folded items around me. As I was getting deeper and deeper into my laundry basket, the shirts started piling up and by the end, I would say I had a good 20 pounds of clothing just sitting atop my legs. I was getting really hot and I couldn't really move my legs and it dawned on me, "If this is just 20 extra pounds, how on earth do people with 100+ extra pounds function?" I couldn't IMAGINE carrying that around all the time.
