Taking My Laundry for a Walk

Last night I threw my laundry into the washing machine and left it alone for as long as it usually takes to go through the cycle. But when I returned I found my clothes soaking wet with soap right where I left it on top of the pile. I closed the lid and the washing machine just kept clicking. I started to pull my clothes out and realized they were actually sitting in a pool. As I heaved them into my plastic laundry basket I started to notice the huge weight of my cumulative pile. What is one to do with a huge mound of soaking wet laundry? I dashed to Google to find the nearest coin launder. To my disappointment the nearest one was about a 15 minute walk away. So I loaded my extremely heavy laundry basket onto a dolly and headed off. I must have looked like a homeless person as I pushed a dripping wet basket full of clothes down the sidewalk wearing a swimming suit and a white Bears T-shirt leaving a trail of my path. I passed couples with their strollers and joggers with their dogs as I trekked on. I finally reached my destination and spent the 30 minute wash by taking a trip to my local YMCA to take a soak in the hot tub then headed back to launder to retrieve my slightly less weighty clothes to wheel back to my home dryer.
