Tangled up in the Rinse Cycle (First Entry to the Dry Season Diaries)

I am in a dry season...I am a season so dry I found myself  lurking under the couches of the house I live in looking for quarters, nickels, and dimes to do my laundry. I had two loads piled up in the hamper, I had no clean business casual clothes let alone clean underwear. So yeah, I had been walking around commando for the past two and a half weeks. I had to resort to wearing Yoga pants to school on that previous day. A few people I had run into gave me some job leads  and I have class assignment where some of us were going to Richmond on this Wednesday to meet up with the Governor and hear a couple of speeches.
  What is a girl to do? After making phone calls after phone calls asking people if I could either borrow change, or borrow their washer and dryer to get excuse after excuse, all my pride was out of the window. I had to make a move and fast. So I prayed about it, and made a big comical announcement on Facebook asking if anyone either had change...Or laundry facilities.  No one did. Anyway, I ended up really pushing my pride to the side and asking an old friend to borrow some cash to wash.
  He blessed me with it..Thank God..Even though I had to listen to him brag about how many women he had or how much money had in the bank. I'm still thankful.  Praise God...He untangled me from the rinse cycle.
