For Old Times Sake

Our dishwasher died a few weeks ago.

Since then, I have washed every dish by hand
using the broken dishwasher as an over-qualified drainboard.

I don't think I want to replace the dishwasher.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the sensation 
of having my hands in soapy water, 
going through the motions without having to concentrate.

It's definitely a right-brain activity 
and feels more like a ritual than a chore,
at least for now.

Stay tuned!

  1. Am using your idea of drying dishes in our cabin since our water is so scarce and we don't want to fill the septic tank! Thanks for the tip, Sarah.
