quick visit with DS2

At this moment I am a privileged mama. Both my boys are under my roof.

DS2 texted this AM to say he think he has strep and was driving the 2.5 hours from my sister's to go to see the dr. He brought with him 3 weeks of laundry.  He was working for 10 days then did his scout camp, orientating (is that a word?) the new recruits, then he was off up north for his annual 5 day Canoe Trip on the Churchill River system. "It was ONLY 125 KM mom" . lol

I sat in ER with him waiting for 2 hours and got to catch up with him. Pure one on one time, if you don't count all the strangers in there too.

They did swabs of his throat and those will get sent off for testing. He gets some time in his own home, for all that he says he did not feeling that missing home longing. He gets fresh laundry and a home cooked meal of his choice.

DS1 is off to the city for his 3 on 3 hockey tournament in a couple hours.

My laundry line is full of clothing drying and the washer is still going.

And I am  happy.


PS - does anyone know how much a 45 min load in the dryer would cost in $??? I am curious how much I save by drying things on the line.

At the laundrymat, it is 25 cents for 8 minutes. Usually a large load would take about 30 min....so roughly a dollar. But then it is done in 30 min. No idea how much it is at home.

Hope your DS feels better soon! Hmm here in Ontario it probably costs $45 to dry a load in the dryer... You do NOT want our Hydro prices... *wah!!*

It depends in Ontario. It varies pending the time of use you use it (on peak, mid-peak, or off peak. Plus our dryer is pretty old so it uses more electricity.

I should check out how much it is at the laundromat here. That would give me an idea of SK prices. I have been reading a lot of articles about the skyrocketing costs in Ontario. Holy wow!
