One positive side effect in this current age of social distancing/quarantine (and I'm making a deliberate effort to see that there are many) is that our laundry loads have become lighter.
I've blogged here about the differences of doing laundry in Switzerland compared to back in the US, but today I'm not airing our dirty laundry...because we don't have much!

while you hang out at home
time spent not doing laundry
could lead to a poem
