I hope you have a nice day

I got dishes done today! Not a ton, but enough to empty out the backlog in the sink from the past couple of days.

We don't have a ton of counter space, nor are wifey and I particularly able to handwash dishes with the regularity I'd like, so I've tried to compensate a bit by only owning 2 sets of dishes (4 of each piece of tableware) and a small supply of cookware/bakeware. I figure that the fewer items we have, the easier it is to stay on top of them. I wouldn't necessarily say that this has panned out as effectively as I'd hoped, but we rarely fall behind more than 2 days anymore, and "falling behind" isn't too difficult to catch up on.

If I had to guess we probably own about 3 loads of dishes (if 1 load is the number of dishes it takes to fill the drying rack). Maybe 4. And 1 load of dishes is always enough to cook dinner with, so even on a bad day when jackshit gets washed before meal prep, it's easy enough to wash a rackfull once and then cook dinner.

I do miss my dishwasher though. I liked being able to do dishes myself, once at night before bed, and once in the morning before work, and have that just take care of everything. I'm hoping our next place has a dishwasher.
