With no car here, figuring out how to get my work clothes dry cleaned has been an item on the "to-do" list for a while. I tend to stock pile and then clean all at once (procrastination is the story of my life). Carrying a load of clothes from my car in Peoria to the apartment was bad enough, but carting them on the bus or train or paying cab fare?
Finally, I received a flyer in the mail, called the number and this past Monday at 8:30pm a guy came to pick up my 24 articles of clothing :). I remembered to ask what payment method he accepted - cash when the clean clothes are returned. It was a hefty amount compared to the cash I usually keep on hand and I made a mental note to get cash during the week.
Well....the mental note failed and I completely forgot. But someone loves me. Thursday I went to get cash because I was getting low. Not even thinking about my bill due Friday night. Usually I always pull out S$90. They don't have $20 bills here; $10's and $50's. So $90 helps break it up and I'm not stuck with two $50's. The machine wouldn't give me $90, so instead of just getting $100 like I usually would, I decided to go for $150 so I got at least one $50 bill. You guessed it, one $50 bill and one $100 bill. Very odd to hold that. It got zipped up in my purse side pocket so as not to get lost.
Then comes Friday after a very long week of work. I'm cleaning the apartment thinking this delivery man will need to carry in my clothes. Then I realize, crap! I need to have $108 to foot my bill.
Wait a minute....I have $108!!! :D Happy day. I never have that much cash. What luck that I had it today. This is good karma. Here's what S$108 of dry cleaning buys you. Actually I thought it was a pretty good deal considering I got door to door service.
Have a great weekend!
