My dishwasher is not working properly so I have done dishes 3 times this week! For the regular individual this may seem normal, maybe even less times than you would wash dishes per week. However, for me this is a zillion times more than usual. I would say over the last year I have washed the dishes once every 2 weeks, on average. And one time I had wine glasses left from a party for 2 months. The reason for this is that I am incredibly lazy and I also have a ridiculous amount of dishes. The dishwasher is also an enabler so I can fill it up, and unload it, whenever I have a chance without ever actually washing dishes. There are some dishes that do not fit or are too fragile for the dishwasher so those accumulate on my counter. Just for the record, this does not make me happy. It makes me feel stressed out, disappointed in myself, rebellious ('cause my Mom would disapprove), and ashamed to have people come over. So, because I haven't been able to depend on the dishwasher anymore I have been forced to do the dishes. I feel good about it, in a theoretical way, but I am honestly really tired of doing them. Since I cook often and have a dog that eats messy soft food I go through alot of dishes so it takes an hourish per session. Then my back and feet get sore. I am so old... Anyways, it's nice to feel normal, and have a cleaner kitchen, but I really would like the dishwasher back.
