According to Plan

The rough thing about laundry is you pretty much always have to do it. You never get more than a couple of days off of thinking about it. 

The good part about laundry is its just not that complicated. The machine works pretty much every time. Laundry almost always goes according to plan. 

In that regard washing clothes is somewhat unique, because while laundry is needy in a predictable way, the rest of life refuses to behave by nearly the same rules, like a psycho ex, popping up at random times to ruin everything. 

Life offers bountiful treasures, lofty goals, great honors, riches and prizes beyond imagination—but it does so at the cost of wrecking our plans, over and over again, seeing if we’ve got just one more go in us, then one more after that.

Because if everything went according to plan, the only reward would be clean towels.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
