Adventures in Ironing Laundry

    Iron and Ironing Board
Yesterday I had to iron some laundry for the upcoming work week. I had been spraying down my clothes with sizing between the washer and dryer and hanging them up slightly damp for a while; but this has finally run it's course and requires more in the way of real attention to the clothes for a better overall look.

I must say that I procrastinated even over the past week and when I finally 'knuckled down' to the task at hand I was turning out a shirt in about 5 minutes and a pair of pants in about that time or slightly less ...

Unfortunately, it was something on the order of what I would characterize as "an ordeal". However, what had to be done was done and I was left with a weeks worth of duds ready to go and looking quite presentable if I do say so myself.

Anyway, the bottom line is that all the technology which permitted this fete of grooming to be completed has been around for the entirety of my life.

Only now have I been forced to take matters in hand and iron those garments. Something about the diffuse wrinkles was getting to me. The iron really did make a difference in the appearance, despite my silent whining during the entirety of the procedure.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go pop a couple of Midol and shoot a tampoon up my ass.
