Got myself in a slight state over laundry

Got myself in a slight state over laundry. The carer who comes in gets me to put a wash on before she comes on a Monday and then she hangs it out for me. I have a set routine ie wear trousers and t shirt three days and change socks and underpants everyday. Then when I have two sets of trousers and t shirts in the bin it’s time to put a wash on. That’s 6 days and Monday to Monday is 7days. My stepdaughter has said to wear trousers and t shirts two instead of three days.
Either way it doesn’t synchronise. If I didn’t have a silly mind it wouldn’t bother me, as it is I feel anxious. My stepdaughter says she’s going to discuss it with me tomorrow. I feel such a useless twat.

Does it help to know there is no such thing as perfect? Maybe you’re a perfectionist. It’s a tricky balance, but I try to avoid criticizing myself too much when I fall short, which is always. It’s like the dividing apples among people joke: you make applesauce.

Can you combine the 2 day and 3 day method?

For example, wear the first trousers/t-shirt for 3 days, the second trousers/t-shirt for 2 days, and the third trousers/t-shirt for 2 days. That makes 7 days.
