How lazy are you?

[steve knight]

clothes live in buckets. Now it’s not that bad I don't have anything fancy or that many clothes.

One bucket with my work shirts poly cotton blended tee shirts that get ruined with glue fro woodworking. About 12 of them for summer and double that winter so I don’t have to wear a sweater and this year thin thermal shirts. One bucket for 3 pair or work jeans and two nicer pair for weekends and two pair of shorts and pj bottoms and tops and pillow cases. One small bucket for nicer weekend shirts that go from shot sleeve to long in winter. One bucket for dirty clothes. one bucket for sock (all the same) and meundies boxer shorts. My wife is blind and it was so much work for her to sort out clothes and fold and put them away . So years ago I washed my own (they all wash in one load a week) and it gives her more room in the dresser. Nothing I have wrinkles and to is fast and takes up little room.

Smart man!

learned the sock trick long ago my wife is great at loosing them. makes her life easier too since she does not have to find mates. She would loose some of my clothes for months no clue where they went.

Is that a definition of laziness, or of coming up with a useful way of dealing with this so that your wife (who is registered blind) can cope with it?

Personally, in these conditions, I wouldn't see this as lazy, but as coming up with a convenient short-cut to an everyday problem that suits your circumstances perfectly well.

It sounded strange until you mentioned your wife being blind, then not so much. Where do you keep your 12 buckets? I presume on the floor in your closet. Do they make Braille labels, or a custom label maker to make it easier to distinguish them for her?

Braille labels are the one extra thing that occurred to me, as well.

hey only 5 buckets and I stack them in a corner of the bedroom. She can see colors so no labels. I wash my clothes she washes hers. saves a lot of halls and lost clothes. she just had a friend go through her clothes to get rid of the old stuff and stained stuff and such.

Clever idea Steve!

 

[steve knight]

this only works if you don't have a huge amount of clothes of course. no making fun of the pizza underwear.

I’m so lazy that if I were a sea captain I’d order the coxswain to steer a different course if the sun was in my eyes.
