Just a Tip

I'd like to take just a moment to provide a little public service announcement for all you Defying Gravity readers responsible for your own laundry. Let's say you buy new sheets for your bed and you don't feel like schlepping to the basement to throw the sheets in the coin-op washer and dryer in your very scary shared basement. RESIST the urge to just put them on the bed! Don't do it, or you'll end up like me--a solid mass of red itchiness everywhere the sheets touched.

Good thing I didn't sleep naked.

(So wash those sheets when you buy them, even if the basement is scary and it will cost you $1.50.)
