Laundry List

I realized today that from now on, when I come to Japan, I only need to bring one change of clothes with me. You see, before I go to bed every night, I put my daily dirty laundry in the hamper in our bathroom here. My early-rising mother-in-law then gets up at the crack of dawn and starts the washing machine with whatever I left there the previous night. So by the time I wake up and shower, the exact same clothes I wore the day before are already washed and dried and waiting for me! Who says there aren't any benefits to staying with your parents?!
