Funk

Funk happens
Funk happens because
Funk happens because my
Funk happens because my spine
Funk happens because my spine and
Funk happens because my spine and my
Funk happens because my spine and my piriformis
Funk happens because my spine and my piriformis don't
Funk happens because my spine and my piriformis don't agree.

Because
Because my
Because my spine
Because my spine and
Because my spine and my
Because my spine and my piriformis
Because my spine and my piriformis don't
Because my spine and my piriformis don't agree
Because my spine and my piriformis don't agree funk
Because my spine and my piriformis don't agree funk happened.

All that to say that I have discovered that I can't pick up anything while bent over at the waist.
You know how you do when you are getting the wet things out of the washer and throwing them into the dryer?
I can't do that anymore.
Well I can but it is unwise and leads to extended down time.
I'm rather tired of down time believe it or not.
In the mean time others have been "helping" with the laundry.
Rather inconsistently as I have recently discovered.
So.
Funk happened.

I need to rewash the clothes in the washing machine.
PEE YEW!

Always amazing how clean clothes can rot. :-)

wait, did someone pee in your laundry or did I misunderstand the last line?

HD-you know whereof you speak.
DCN-no one pissed on the laundry but they might as well have. PEE YEW is the phonetic spelling of the sound one makes upon the smelling of sour laundry, roadkill etc....

Dontcha hate it when you discover a forgotten load of clothes. A sure sign that I have too many clothes if I don't miss a whole load for a week. I usually think that pair of pants I want to wear just got missed in last weeks laundry. Of course my K-man still does most of the laundry - but it is still me who tends to forget a load.

That's like not being able to vacuum. The idea is great...but once you realize someone else then has to do it...the funk returns. Not because you get out of it, but because they'll either not do it, or do a horrible job.

I feel for you completely chick. But, all will be well soon!!! No fear!!!

My husband has been doing laundry lately. I think he got tired of listening to me gently ask him what he did all day while I was at work. This role reversal thing is a hoot. Anyway, he has no sense of smell which comes in handy when the freezer goes on the blink or a cat dies unexpectedly under the steps in your garage, but is not helpful at laundry time. I have finally convinced him that wet clothes do not sit well and he is getting much better. Now if I could teach him about hangers.

Hangers?

Brook said...

Mom-too many clothes is a problem. I may need to borrow the K-man to get these yadyhoos whipped into shape.

Nej-I know, Ihaven't been able to vacuum for about 5 years now. Talk about letting go being hard to do! All will be well! (one way or another)

Spellbound-selective hearing, selective vision and selective smelling as well. Where do men get these abilities? If the day ever comes when the kids and man of the house figure out that wet clothes and days don't go together I'll probably just fall over. Forget what would happen with hanger use.

HD-;P I know who does the laundry at your house and I bet it is done perfectly with hangers and everything!
