If it's on the floor, you don't need it no more.

Today I got back into the groove of laundry.  The Tide that I purchased prior to my surgery had a malfunction and decided to explode/leak everywhere.  People in the house noticed, but not the extent that it had leaked.  I found a nice puddle under the bag in front of the washer.  It feels amazing to have it all cleaned up.  I look forward to my daily laundry routine resuming now.

This is the first time I am showing my before and after pictures on my blog rather than just my supportive group of peeps on FB.  This is me and I'm real.  So is my struggle to manage things at times. The majority of the clothes on top of the washer need to be air dried.  We take that term very loosely in our house.  The mess on the floor was mostly things people other than me don't know how to wash or mismatched socks belonging to the youth.  Funny thing is, they don't wear matched socks so I threw them all in the wash along with the other items that could be washed and I deemed worth saving.

Obviously in had been put in the down position where it liked to leak.

It took me about 40 minutes to get to the results you see in the after picture.  Much more than my normal 15 minute focused clean up.  It was well worth it.  

(Side note: you can save a lot of money if you can live with a washer and dryer that don't match.)

After today, I may start a new motto:  "If it's on the floor, you don't need to no more."
