I have had those weeks, too! Out of curiousity, how long does it take you to do a load of laundry? My machines are SLOW, It's almost 5 hours to wash and dry. You?

For the long cycle on y washer: 2 hours. I do my dryer by time and I generally start at 1:45. Whether I need to extend that time depends on how hard a spin I used on the washer (and therefore how much water was centrifuged out of the clothes). I tend to keep those rpms low because I find this washer (and dryer!) extremely hard on my clothing (as compared to the Mieles I had in the tates). I run extremenly large loads because it takes so long (drives my mother-in-law crazy) and I run both machines at the same time, of course, during the second wash load and on. Still sounds better an hour + better than yours, what brand do you have? Bosch and Asko are the slowest. I have a no name here.

One can always rely on the universal constant that the cat will vomit.

I've had weeks like this too. Things invariably get better. Having read your next post, I know you will doubt this, but I believe it. I hope things settle down for you.
