So, admittedly, I have begun gathering for camp; not packing, per se, but gathering and pairing and setting things about the place in preparation for summer camp.
Today, I did something for the first time, ever…
I dropped shirts off at a professional laundry. I have been debating it for some time, but didn’t want to add an extra monthly expense at this point. I decided that summer camp would be the perfect one-time event to test drive the service.
I have been gathering some great shirts that fit me beautifully that don’t launder at home quite as beautifully. Even though I enjoy ironing in one of those borderline-OCD-love-affair-with-inanimate-objects-and-household-chores sort of way, some shirts just don’t smooth out well with a home iron, without a lot of effort and a ton of spray starch…
I am excited about camp; so much more so than last year, if that is even possible. This time around, I have my starting point established; a baseline if you will. I have inside of my head a growing structure to how and what I will pack, although it is difficult to explain at this point. Additionally, it would fall under internal process, so I would not really care to share it prior to camp anyway…
So… they will be ready to pick up Monday evening. I used my ex’s laundry. He was a fanatic about laundered and starched dress shirts… I think I picked a good store. We shall see.
