Washed everything and now tired.

Hi everyone. It's almost 1pm here. And I am already dead tired. I woke up at 6am, half an hour earlier than usual. Ate oatmeal and milk, made a Birthday post for my friend and then reviewed for 1 hour. After that I decided to wash my clothes along with my school uniform (which I will never wear again). Had a sentimental moment remembering this and then straight sat down to settle the score with my laundry. Our old washing machine broke down last month. We've brought a new one, whirlpool, but haven't yet started using it. So, now I washed everything by hand. And then went up in the terrace, which was scorching with Sun already, and hung them on line to dry. It took me 2 hrs to do so. I'm so slow in washing. And now I'll have my lunch, nothing much just rice, dal, potato curry and papad fry. And then sleep. P. S.- Picture from Daniel Spase in Unsplash.

Had you finished school? Why will you not use your uniform anymore.

@Anqaya that's fine at least done with school. Congratulations. Now you Will deal with the employment world. What are your plans, will you apply for a job? What course did you take up?

Yes. I just finished class 12 this year. Our results will be announced by 31st July. Actually it's still lockdown for schools here. But I had to go to submit some projects as they are of high value now that the theory exams got cancelled.

@florelway I'll take a few months break and then start college from January. Meanwhile let me see what job can I do. I'll take english and history in college. Of course everything's online for now. What about you? Did you do any job after high school ?

@Anqaya I see... That's a good reason not to use the new machine, then. I hope it gets hooked up soon.

We want to fit it in a newly built room and it is not yet connected with electricity. It used to be a side verandah. You can say patio room in your country.

Having a new washing machine but not using it sounds strange to me.

Just some electric connections are to be made. Technicians are really scarce to find here because of the ongoing infrastructure construction by the govt.

It must have been rough hand washing everything. Don't blame you for being tired.

Yes. I'm done. But sadly didn't enjoyed the last two years struggling with online classes. No. Just some electric connections are to be made. The technicians are all busy in the bridge and other construction work here. I get you. Many people here do wait for an auspicious day.

I remember washing my dresses and school uniform every weekend during my student life. Washing machines were not common those days. It was fun as well as an extra chore to wash them
