cold-hot-cold and the just rights

The static electricity in my room has been unbearable for the past few weeks. The other day I reached to turn the light off but before I even got to the switch I received a shock that turned everything off.

This made stripping the bed today unbearable and in my haste I shoved the bundle of sheets into the washing machine. In the bundle of sheets was my TV’s remote control.

I let it dry out and not only does it work but it's really clean.

Also, for the first time in years I used a dryer sheet. What's the use of keeping carcinogenic chemicals off my skin if I'm risking spastic electric shocks?
