Today was pretty busy for a Saturday. Instead of engaging in my habitual weekend indolence or going out to do something with my buddies, I got early and put in a shift at work. When I got off at three, I stopped by the library before hurrying home to get ready for a barbecue with our Sunday school class.
We didn’t get back until after eight but I still had to finish up a load of laundry. As usual, I procrastinated until I ran out of clothes and then washed all of my clothes in one fell swoop.
I used to be a total slob when it came to folding up my laundry but for some reason after I watched that silly viral “how to fold a t-shirt” video I developed a minor OCD tendency to fold my t-shirts nice.
I watched that video more than ten times trying to figure out how it was done. Freakish? That’s what happens when you’re bored and alone in a foreign country. If I had just waited I could have saved myself the trouble. Now, they have videos doing it slowly and explaining the fold step by step.
That is really funny that there is a video on it. Although I have to say there is something nice about having T-shirts that aren’t wrinkled and looking into a closet with neatly folded clothes. Unfortunately in my closet’s case it doesn’t last long!

I have all my clothing in laundry baskets. I suspect now would be the best time go through my clothing and remove anything that’s no longer going to be worn. UGH.. I have so much to go through… and so much to do…
Do you iron your t-shirts? I had to do a lot of laundry this weekend also. Last load is in the washer now. Phew…
@ Jessica: Yeah, once I dig through my drawers a couple times the neat folding goes away.
@ Trebonte: It’s always a good time to throw away unused stuff (if only I could remember this myself).
@ Danika: No. I’m not quite that picky. I was ironing some button-ups.
I’ve been meaning to learn the art of that video, guess it is actually pretty useful?
@ Tage: It really isn’t much faster than normal folding because you have to get the t-shirt layed out perfectly flat for it to work properly. On the other hand, it does make your t’s look nice.
