Tonight's other challenge: laundry

[dagibbs]

Getting the laundry downstairs (that's two flights): backpack, in particular the largish one I use for hauling climbing gear. It fits, reasonably full, one load.

Other challenges:

The basement stairs are steeper and narrower than other stairs. And have no hand rail.

Crutches really don't work well when you can't actually stand up straight and swing on them. My basement ceiling is at about (on me) shoulder level.

In fact, hopping around is really tricky when you are stooped over, too.

But, one load is now in the dryer, and the 2nd load is in the washer, so I'm doing ok.

I would totally be buying new clothes or using a coin laundromat-- I'd be too chicken to attempt the stairs. :)

I wish I was in Ottawa, I would totally do your laundry for you.

Laundromat is, in many ways, even worse. I still have to get them up and down one set of stairs, then to/from the laundromat.

If that were the case I would be buying new clothes. Assuming I was even leaving my bed.

But then, I'm a wimp. :)
