I have sought professional help.
They have a name for my sickness... my illness... my malady...
Ablutovestiphobia = Fear of washing clothes!
From the more classically known phobias:
Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing.
Vestiphobia - fear of clothing
Now that the word is out... I guess I can tell you what steps I have taken to cure myself.
I have enrolled in Dr. Coll's Class "Housework for the laundry impaired" (you see, we prefer to call ourselves, Laundry Challenged, or Laundry Impaired, rather than the hurtful slang that is currently circulating... messy, lazy, slothful, and slovenly)
So, I signed up for telephone counseling and have had my first session. I must say, Dr. Coll is very supportive... (I could have sworn I heard her mention that she had a cleaning lady... but I must be wrong!) Anyway, Dr. Coll has determined that I need to participate in the One Load A Day.
Similar to the AA 12 step program... except there is only 2 steps.
Step #1) Wash, fold and put away all your laundry
Step#2) Moving forward wash, fold, put away one load a day
I'll keep you posted.
I started the "program" last week, I am still working on Step #1. I think I should be all caught up in another 10 days or so!
have a great day!
Spring is around the corner!
