Quid did her laundry once every other Wednesday night. It was when the Laundromat was the emptiest and Quid didn’t have to fight for the machines. She had learned early not to bring reading material with her because shuffling through a stack of books Howard Berg style attracted too much attention and she was hard pressed to be able to carry enough books and her laundry at the same time. Instead she worked her way through books of Sudoku, crossword puzzles, and when she could finally afford a phone – online articles.
