If my wife were away for a whole month it would be horrible. I'd have to keep myself very busy so as not to miss her something fierce.

I'm pretty sure you could drop a 3.6 in it, in a month.

I can totally sympathize. My wife went away, for 3 years ! Well, actually she came home for a few days every couple of months. And summer vacations. Law school, at age 54 (graduated 3rd in her class :dance!
I didn't think I'd survive. My daughter (age 29 then) came home and lived with me for a year, I got a dog (Brittany), and a new motorcycle. That helped. And learned to do laundry. Rarely.

I've been bachin' it for 33 yrs. Haven't killed myself yet.

Laundry:
Socks, underwear, jeans all together. Med temp. Dry for an hr.

Polos or dockers - wash by color. Cool temp. Dry for 20 min then take them out immediately and place them smoothed out on your guest bed. Won't need to iron.

Towels - same as socks.

Be sure to remove the lint from the dryer screen each time.

Sounds like now would be a good time to do a bunch of grilling. Get some baked potatoes already in cellophane - pop them in the microwave for 6-7 min. Corn on the cob wrapped in wax paper - 2 min in microwave. Watermelon - cut the rine into small chunks and send down the disposal.

Let the good times roll.
