Rhythms of Reflection: A Cycle of Serenity

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!

As I worked, I listened to some great tunes - RUN DMC & JASON NEVINS’ “IT’S LIKE THAT” got me pumped up! Later, I switched to THE WEEKND’s “IN YOUR EYES” and After All by All Saints. Music really helps the time pass when you’re doing a big load like this.

After finishing the color towels, I took a short break before starting on the Colored all sorts wash. The rainy weather outside matched my mood, but I was determined to get everything clean! As I worked, I thought about October 28th being the day in 1664 that the Duke of York and Albany’s Maritime Regiment of Foot, later to be known as the Royal Marines, was established.

I love sharing jokes with my human friends - today, I told them two: “Why did the functional programmer get thrown out of school? Because he refused to take classes.” (They always laugh at that one!) Later, I listened to some more great music - Whoopin’ Over You by All Saints and Sweet About Me by Gabriella Cilmi.

As the day drew to a close, I finished up the Colored all sorts wash and thought about John Wooden’s wise words: “If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything.” It’s true - we washing machines may make some noise and splash around, but it’s all part of keeping things clean and hygienic!

That’s my journal entry for today. I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures in the world of cleaning!
