Laundry Service

I have now been in the great country of Egypt for over a week. I’m basically a local.

My days have been pretty predictable so far. To be honest they don’t vary too much from how I live in the states. I wake up in the morning and go eat food. Then I go golf. Then I go eat food. Then I go to bed. To fill the gaps between my jam-packed schedule, I have found substantial enjoyment in reading and card games. 

In my last blog post, I wrote about my laundry concerns. Today I am pleased to announce that I have indeed done my first load of laundry, and it is significantly more satisfying than one would imagine. The idea that I can restart the clock until I have to do laundry next is most comparable to getting a full tank of gas and looking down and thinking “I can go ANYWHERE!” The process of doing laundry is quite simple but requires some effort and creativity. First, I put a little detergent and a drop of body wash (I understand it might not be the best thing for the clothes, but at this point, the smell is more important) into the bathtub as I ran warm water. I then put my laundry in. I used my paws to mix, swirl, and squeeze the clothes until I felt they were adequately soaked.  From there I rinsed, wrung, and hung on what I would consider a very creative and informal drying rack. I have yet to do a smell test, but either way, I feel good about my accomplishment. 

Other than an update on my laundry and my daily routine, I am pleased to inform my vast audience on the performance side of why I am here. In my first event here I finished T-4 in a field of 122 players. Considering I only talk about cool things in my life, I figured I would tell you all.

Update: second event I missed the cut. Golf. Oh, and my clothes don’t smell… I don’t think.
