So, something I learned today -- if you're ever super worried about a problem, and you're waiting for it to resolve, hand wash your clothes.
It is labor intensive, exhausts you, and you feel productive, since these aren't clothes you can wash otherwise.
How do you do this?
Fill your bathtub part way with cold water.
Add laundry soap if the items can handle it. If not, do the ones that can't handle it first, then put in the laundry soap after. I recommend doing no more than 10 items at a time. Trust me, ten is plenty.
Wash the items. Pretend your a washing machine. Swirl the clothes around. Dunk them in again. Shake them violently.
Use your sink to rinse them, making sure you use cold water and that you get all the soap out.
Now, you can take a towel and wrap them to dry, before then hanging them, or you can -- if you're a masochist -- just straight up hang them, wringing the water out as best you can.
They'll take a while to dry, you can hang them in your shower, or better yet, outside on a clothes line, and voila!
DISTRACTION!
But be sure to clean up everything afterward.
Now go fall asleep. You've earned it and you're going to be tired and your arms are going to hurt now.
