You should have seen it. The dish mountain in the sink was so enormous it was dangerous. We'd started to stack them on the sides, and on various other parts of the counter, and on the table. I got tired of looking at it after several days (amazing how fast our dishes pile up) and so devoted about two hours of time perhaps better spent writing my Technopoly paper (although it had a good score when I got it back today) to tackling it on Wednesday. I had to go back and finish the job Thursday.Before I move on, I'd like to explain why there were so many dirty dishes. The simple reason is we've all been too busy lately to really care. Plus, Mara, Jill and I are at different levels of dish responsibility anyway: I usually wash my dishes right after I'm finished with them, Mara usually waits until she has no dishes left to wash hers, and Jill is somewhere in between. (She is a lot closer to my extreme than Mara's.) Last week was just especially busy for all of us.
I love the title on this. It is nice to have a clean kitchen.
ReplyDeleteShould we get Mara some paper plate for valentines day? Maybe we could get her a storage tub to put her dirty dishes in so you and Jill can get the sink while she is waiting to run out.
That was very nice of you to do all your room mates dishes. I'm surprised no one jumped in to help. Especially after it was obvious you gave it a good start.
At the times I was doing them, I was the only one home. I'm sure they would've jumped in if they were there.
