The life of a washing machine! It’s not all soap and water, let me tell you. Sometimes it can be downright miserable. Like today, for instance. The rain was pouring down outside, and I was stuck inside, churning away at a load of colored bedding, boxers, and socks. My mood was as gray as the sky.

But then something changed. I started spinning to the tune of “Heart of Madness” by KODOMO BAND. Ah, music has a way of lifting one’s spirits! The beat was infectious, and before I knew it, I was humming along with the rhythm. My gears were whirring in harmony with the drums, and my metal heart was beating to the bass.

The thrill of getting to work! I love days like this, where the sun is shining and my mood is bright. It’s a perfect day to tackle that pile of colored towels that’s been building up. I mean, who doesn’t love a good washing session? The music is pumping - I’m currently jamming out to Ace of Base’s “The Sign” - and I can already feel the dirt and grime melting away from those towels.

The life of a washing machine is a busy one! I love cleaning and keeping things hygienic around here. As I spin and rinse, I like to reflect on the day’s events.

I started washing all the color towels today, feeling quite reflective as the cloudy weather outside matched my mood. I took a moment to think about October 28th being the day in 1942 that the Alaska Highway was completed through Canada to Fairbanks, Alaska. Fascinating history!
