I didn’t do the dishes today

I mean I did not do ANY dishes ALL DAY. Do you have any idea how unusual that is? I am a dish “processor”. I am one of those people who grabs your used water glass as soon as you put it down even if you were planning on using it again. Sorry, that’s just how I roll.

Anyway, I am about at the end of the never-ending leftovers. Or so it seems. I am now into some prepared food from the Plum. So. I really did not get anywhere near a significant number of dishes dirty. I will probably do a round of dishes in the morning. At least those that don’t go in the dishwasher.

I lived for YEARS without a dishwasher in the Landfill. At one point we had a dishwasher that was kind of past the point and wasn’t really getting the dishes clean. For whatever reasons (complicated) I just decided we didn’t need a new dishwasher at that point. I grew up washing dishes by hand and actually enjoyed it so I just washed them by hand for a while. Quite a while.

When we finally gutted the Landfill Chitchen, I decided it was time for a new dishwasher. We headed off to Big George and the GG proceeded to open EVERY DAMN DISHWASHER on the showroom floor and pull its drawers out. He was expecting me to choose what I needed based on that? Nope. While the GG was rummaging around with the dishwashers, I approached our nice young salesman and said something like, “Mid-priced dishwasher that’ll get the dishes clean.” He pointed me to a Bosch, I bought it and it has worked just fine for 10 years. Overthinking things drives me nutso. Not that I don’t ever do it.

My main household chore today was hauling the garbage and recycle carts up to their home after pickup. Okay. When they picked up the garbage cart, it was raining. When they dropped it back down by the curb, the lid stayed open. Then it began POURING rain. When I finally got out there, there was a few inches of water in the bottom. So… I hauled it up and tipped it over to let it all drain out.

Just a day in the life. Orange ya glad I didn’t blahg about pollyticks today?

    The next dishwasher I get will be a Bosch. I’ve always had one and like the idea of the dishes being sterilized. I’m not a very good hand dishwasher!
