transformations
I discovered
in my wife's absence a love of housework. I am especially fond
of laundry: the sorting; the washer settings; the clean, chemical
smell of Gain (with bleach); the warm rumble of the dryer; stripping the
lint filter; folding; putting away. God, I love the order,
the symmetry of it. I also like doing dishes or, rather, letting
my dishwasher do them. Although I have never read the loading
instructions, I would bet I load and space the dishes in full compliance
with the manufacturer's recommendations. I am simply that kind
of talent. |
