I can still remember an old Hi and Lois panel where she was furiously washing dishes. Her husband asked her what the hurry was and she said, “Just once I’d like to finish the dinner dishes before I start on the snack dishes.”
So, when the laundry is done, kick your feet up and set a spell. The new load will be there when your rest is through.
I had a brief lie-down while one load finished, before putting on another.
