SpaHa Profile: Wash and Iron - The Laundromat Lady

She works ridiculous hours, sacrifices weekends for her job, cleans Spa-Ha dirty laundry, breathes in poisonous fumes, and yet, she seems happy. Every week, she greets us with a smile. Actually, I can't be positive that she's smiling. She wears a medical mask over her mouth. She could be grinding her teeth and cursing all of us under her breath.
She calls me the big guy. "Heyyy, it's the big guy!!" A phrase I've grown accustomed to since my time in Korea.
She even sewed a slight tear in my pants together...FO' FREE! I tried to slip her a 5 dollar bill. She kindly declined. "No, no. Merry Christmas." It was February 5th.
She's cute. She laughs at my jokes, runs to the front counter when I walk in and has to be the most beautiful girl...in the...room. Depending on the room of course.
Here's to the laundromat lady.
