For me, it is the laundry. I swear there is always laundry to be done, but it will not hurt anything if clean clothes sit in the basket for a few days. <br/>Sometimes self-care looks like reading a book for me. I love reading a book because it provides me with an escape from the stress and pain that I am facing in real life. It also makes me take the time to sit down and relax. Maybe even enjoy some hot tea. <br/>It is not a fancy spa day but it helps me. - Amanda W (team member)</p>

      <p><inline-mention username="Lisa Robin Benson" user-id="3807475"/> grew up in a house where we hung virtually all of the clothes! It was so much extra work, I feel like now I&#39;m compelling to throw EVERYTHING in the dryer! It if can&#39;t be dried, I don&#39;t buy it haha! <br/><br/><br/>That&#39;s such a bummer about the dryer being broken now. Is it fixable or does it need to be replaced? I know we&#39;ve had a lot of great luck going to &quot;scratch and dent&quot; stores or sections in the store to get great prices. I don&#39;t know if you&#39;re a bargain hunter like me, but just in case you are, I figured, I would toss that out there for you. &#128512; <br/>- Alene, moderator </p>

      <p>Thanks Alene! It’s a washer/dryer unit so we are essentially waiting for the washer to die! It is a lot more work, but also is teaching our child about frugality so we don’t mind so much at the moment. Luckily when things pile up we have several decent laundromats in our neighborhood! </p>
