I don’t have anything that is pressing-pressing, but there’s definitely stuff I should be doing. Instead I am laying in bed like an invalid. Help

      Why though? You’re dirty, the clothes are dirty. Might as well start the wash so it’s going while you shower. Then when you get out you have the additional easy productive task of moving everything to the dryer, and then you have an hour or so before another semi-optional simple productive task.

      I genuinely can’t think of why showering before starting the laundry would be better in any way.

        Do you live in an apartment without in-unit washers? I live in a house and starting the laundry fucks with the shower’s water pressure and heat levels.

            Older showers don’t have a pressure balancing valve which adjusts either the hot or cold flow to equalize a loss in pressure on the opposite side.

            Without this, flushing a toilet robs the shower of cold water and so the user is scalded, or running a washing machine or dishwasher does the same with the hot supply.
