Do I need an intervention?

[diymom]

So... my dryer died. I called the appliance store yesterday morning to set up an appointment to get it fixed. They said they could come out next Tuesday. Or Wednesday. I chose Thursday afternoon. Looking at the forecast, next Tuesday and Wednesday look like they might be my last days at Wachusett for the season. Yesterday and today I put the washer on extra spin and hung stuff out on the line to dry

Do I have a problem?

 

[liquidfeet]

NO.

 

[geargrrl]

No one in Europe uses a dryer. Just sayin'. Get yourself a nice folding rack.

I'd venture to question the ski divaness of anyone whose thought process wouldn't run along the same line and ultimately make the same decision.

If you need an intervention, then Ski Diva Anonymous, here we come!

 

[brooksnow]

Makes perfect sense to me

 

[Peppermint]

I would do the same. Not a problem at all!

You said it! Nothing but drying racks in my Swiss house. Even if my wash machine broke, I‘d still put it off to ski!!

Girl, I put off THREE SURGERIES until after ski season. And one involved vision. You're asking the wrong crew.

While I use a drying rack for bunches of my clothing, especially my wool ski layers.. I cannot imagine using racks for everything. Maybe my laundry loads are too big.

I moved to an apartment without laundry so I could be 5 minutes from the mountain… I put off doing laundry for as long as possible during ski season, I wash base layers and underwear in the sink and hang dry over my boot dryer. If you need an intervention I shudder to think what I need.

You do not have a problem. Skiing is the priority so scheduling activities and do what you have to do so you can ski is 100% understandable. Unless it's during the week I pretty much don't see my family who lives an hour away from November until May or so.

 

[racetiger]

Nope.
My house gets messy during ski season. Because who wants to clean when you'd rather go skiing?

 

[AJM]

Happy to read I am not alone
During ski season EVERYTHING is dependant on being able to ski, housework, washing of the hair, laundry , grocery shopping etc etc ... the lot !!
Trouble is its overflowed into Summer as well now that I've become hooked on SUPing

 

[ski diva]

I'm the same way, and likewise glad to hear I'm not alone. During ski season, everything revolves around skiing. Hey, the season's short; I have to make the most of it.

I wish more people understood this! I definitely get grief about it in my family. If only ANYONE in my entire family also skied! I double down for the most part though.. if others can have their kids’ activity schedules dictate plans, why can’t my ski plans do the same?

Exactly. I get grief too. Noone else in my family skis, they don't understand. Same with me. My sister's have kids that dictate their schedules so skiing is my kid lol.

Orrrrrr, she’s asking the RIGHT crew… ;)

Skiing trumps laundry and being mad with your partner.

I do have a folding rack that I use for my woolies in the winter, and a larger Brabantia umbrella dryer that I use a fair amount in the summer. I like the way my clothes smell after drying outside, and I figure it is gentler on the fabric.

DH was in the kitchen when I was on the phone with the repair people. He had a slightly puzzled look on his face when I chose Thursday as I was standing in front of my wall calendar with absolutely nothing on it until this coming Friday when I head up to Quebec with a few other Divas. When he found out what I was up to he got a good laugh out of it. He doesn't ski, but I'm lucky that he is supportive of my skiing. Also, I'm easier to live with when I get to ski ;)

I've gotta say, you guys are the best enabling snow-dependents a Diva could wish for
