Wash Day Blues

I seem to have had a senior moment. We're packing Stephen for another trip and I went to take the laundry out of the washer and put it in the dryer...and found that I hadn't actually switched the machine on last night! It took me a while to register that was what had happened. I was standing staring blankly down into the machine and wondering why the heck my white washing had dark blue streaks all over it, and the fabric softener was still in the dispenser....
