Laundry Time

Liz hates /s/ doing the laundry. She realizes /iz/ that four weeks /s/ have passed since her last trip to the Laundromat. There are piles /s/ of clothes /z/ in the closets /s/, the sheets /z/ and towels /z/ are dirty, she’s /z/ been wearing the same pair of blue jeans /s/ for nine days /z/, and she doesn’t /s/ have any clean socks /s/ or blouses /iz/ left. She thinks /s/ about it while she watches /z/ one of her favorite TV shows /s/. She wishes /iz/ she didn’t have to do such chores /s/. Then she opens /z/ a book, turns /s/ the pages /z/, and tries /z/ to study. The phone rings /s/: one of Liz’s /iz/ friends /s/ reminds /z/ her about Sally’s /z/ party tomorrow evening. She decides /z/ that it’s /s/ now or never. She can’t go to the party unless she washes /iz/ one of her new dresses /iz/. She stuffs /s/ all her clothes /s/ into two laundry bags /s/. She strips /s/ the bed and pulls /s/ the pillowcases /iz/ off the pillows /z/. She goes /s/ through the apartment, picking up everything in sight. Finally, she grabs /s/ some coat hangers /s/, two boxes /iz/ of detergent, and her keys /z/, and closes /iz/ the door behind her. She hopes /s/ she won’t be too late. She arrives /s/ at the Laundromat, carries /z/ in all her belongings /s/, and searches /iz/ for some empty machines /z/. But they’re all either in use or out of order. She sighs /z/, picks /s/ up everything, and drives /s/ to the local video store to rent a couple of movies /iz/.
