OCD Challenge - Doing My Own Laundry


Laundry has been a no-go for me the past two years as it couldn't be done in my own home - didn't have washer and dryer. Doing anything out of the house is difficult because of my OCD so I had others do it for me. Moving in here means I have to do it myself and every Tuesday is my laundry day. It's technically out of my apartment, but it's not as bad as actually having to leave the building. I managed to do all my laundry and not cave into my OCD routines and rituals. Definitely challenging and painful, but I did it! To others doing laundry is a small achievement, but to me, it is a huge achievement and my contact person says I should start giving myself credit for these achievements - so yay me! 

I had a meeting early afternoon and I didn't sleep well, so didn't get started till 2 pm and finished at 11 pm. Now I know to start earlier next week! Tuesday laundry day - here I come!
