Cleaning woes
Well, I never thought I'd say this, but the other day, just before the guests arrived for our big Christmas dinner, I think I was a little overzealous with the cleaning. I was cleaning the bathroom before the guests arrived on the 27th, and afterwards decided that all the rags in the cleaning basket were so dirty that wiping anything with them probably made things dirtier rather than cleaner. So, I put the whole lot of rags (about 3 or 4 of them) in the laundry hamper, thinking that when they come out, they'll be sparkly clean and much more useful for cleaning things.
Well, they've come out sparkly clean alright, but now my nice warm Carleton sweatshirt has big greasy stains on it that are permanent. It took us a while to figure out how it happened, but it turns out the sweatshirt and the rags were touching in the hamper, and some furniture polish from one of the rags ended up soaking into the sweatshirt. Nobody noticed (and I didn't think of anything like that when I put the rags in the hamper), so my sweatshirt got washed. Now the stain is permanent. D'oh! I really liked that sweatshirt and now it's ruined. :-( At least the good news is that while the rag thing was my fault, at least it seems to only have affected my clothing and not anyone else's. Still, it sucks. Now I'm down to two operable sweatshirts. Combined with my closet clean-out earlier, looks like it's about time I went shopping again! I'm thinking of going tomorrow - hopefully the sales will still be on.

There is one good thing - you have nice occasion to buy new t-shirt.
