I havent worked since December. I have no challenges which can only mean - a mess is about to be made. But this time, I did not pull out the art or jewelry supplies or start a sewing project oh no.
This time, I made an attempt to concoct homemade laundry detergent - 64 loads worth. It sounds ambitious, but all in all, a relatively easy science experiment in the making of gelantenous slime. I stood over the washer during the rinse cycle practically fretting. Will it work? There were odd globules in there - will they leave spots? What if the clothes dont smell good? Oh dear, oh dear - what was I thinking? As soon as the washer came to a halt, I did the old sniff test and stuck my nose right in the center of a pair of underwear that I knew to be especially cruddy not hours before. Ok, so that's gross but Ahhhhh. Pure as the driven snow.
I was so pleased with my granola girl self that I turned right around and made homemade dishwasher detergent.
Leave me alone. I'm bored.

Please to be posting and/or linking the recipe? This sounds like a mission I can get behind!

Make sure you get 'washing'soda and not baking soda, although I read somewhere online you can change the chemistry of baking soda to washing soda by heating it up to a certain temperature (140F?) But for how long, I dont remember.
