Drip dry.

[tablesaw]

I hate hate hate hate hate laundry.

Clean clothes: good.

Dirty clothes: not so good, but not without some merit.

Process of getting Clean clothes Dirty: fun, usually.

Process of getting Dirty clothes Clean: Long, pointless, loud, keeping me awake, dreary, annoying, irritating, irksome, grating, obnoxious, harassing, pestering, draining, demoniacal, unlovable, mean, disgusting, perverted, nauseating, dumb, inane, ridiculous, and tire tire tiring.

I daren't go to read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay because I know that the moment I do, I will be off to Nod and all of my nice clothes will get wrinkly. Then I will go to work and people will say, "Hey you! Wrinkly Boy! Are you so lame that you cannot do your laundry correctly?" And I will say, "No I am not lame, I just hate laundry." And they will say, "Too bad, you lose job now! HAHAHAHAH!"

Oh boy, I need sleep.

I can go from "not tired yet" to "really tired" pretty quickly, especially if I'm not able to actually go to bed. And it's nearing one p.m. One p.m. is not a time I like to be awake at barring exciting happenings, like going shopping and meeting fun people or making harried phone calls or reading exhilarating novels or writing difficult scenes. One p.m. is not meant to be reached while waiting for the infernal machine to stop pouring heat into my pants so that I can put them on hangers and go to SLEEP!

Things that suffer at times like this:
Thought (I can't really recall what I've written so far and am reduced to employing a simplistic listing structure.)

Spelling (I just barely stopped myself from spelling "waiting" as "whatiyng." You explain it.)

Stomach (When I'm awake for too long, I get hungry again. Excuse me. There. I now have some Triscuits and the last of my Brie cheese.)

Ability to save Brie cheese for special occasions. (See above.)

Ankles. (For reasons I have never been able to understand, when I am awake for a long period of time, my ankles ache.)

Eyes. (Eyes want close. Eyes no can close. Eyes cries! Eye water make hard to see!)

Grammar. (See above.)

And various other things. (For those keeping track, I almost spelled "varying" as "verying." {shudder}) I've even lost the strength to add adjectives that describe laundry. I think that all of my laundry has suddenly become drip-dry.

I'm not sure how it works where you are...

...but can't you drop your clothes off and have them cleaned for you and pick them up later? I know it might be difficult because of your work schedule, but if it weren't for my ability to do that, I would NEVER have clean clothes. Once you factor everything else in, it really isn't that much more expensive. (Assuming, I guess, that you don't have your own washer and dryer, which I probably shouldn't assume.)
