So it's true...

If you don't separate the darks from the lights they really do bleed and stain each other.  I'm really glad that this happened right now when I moved to a new country with only a select few of my favorite clothes, and not during the past TWO YEARS I HAVE BEEN DOING MY OWN LAUNDRY.  Luckily I have mostly dark clothes, so it's just my towels and underwear that are now socially unacceptable.  sigh.  It's not a big deal.  It only makes sense that after posting about how well things are going The Fates would stage their revenge.   I'm used to it by now.  I need me a plant.
