There are a few things I’ve noticed as I’ve washed dishes by hand over the past few days. First, my nails are cleaner and brighter white than they have been for a long time. Second, washing dishes is a pretty peaceful, soothing task. I’m usually alone in the kitchen, and it’s quiet. My hands are soaking in warm, sudsy water. It’s not all that bad.
Now, I know that I’m completely spoiled. This is the first house where we’ve had a dishwasher, and I absolutely love it. I’ll be very thankful when it’s working. However, I’m not in a hurry to have it fixed. Whenever they figure out what’s wrong, I’ll go back to using the dishwasher. But… for now… I’ll just be thankful for some quiet time washing dishes.
