@manicbanjo this but getting out of bed
@manicbanjo We moved in July, and our dishwasher has never worked. I have Dish Pan Hands and people my age will understand the phrase.
@manicbanjo indeed so. So nice to know there are others. We share.
@manicbanjo Every 2-3 days for me and they've actually just been done now!

@manicbanjo Someone on usenet long ago had a list of eternal evil domestic tasks, three greater and three lesser -- laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc.

I no longer recall which were greater and which were lesser, but it captured this feeling.

@manicbanjo This but laundry. And dinner.
@manicbanjo Buying a diswasher is the best financial decision I have done by far
@manicbanjo For me it’s leaves. I have a huge Magnolia tree in my front yard that constantly sheds leaves. It’s impossible to keep up. I go out and rake up the leaves but in a few hours the yard is covered again. Ugh! 😩
@manicbanjo If doing the dishes made my thighs look like THAT it would be worth it! 😎
@manicbanjo @DonnaLanclos Oh my goodness this, but dog hair. We have just vacuumed the whole house. If anyone invents a dog flap that gently but thoroughly vacuums the dog every time they enter the home, I will buy shares.
@manicbanjo
When I recently employed a cleaner the company made very clear they wouldn't do the dishes, so now I have to make sure they are all done before the cleaner arrives, as well as sorting out the recycling and generally tidying up.
My dad's cleaner happily does the dishes. That makes more sense to me.
@manicbanjo I am not expecting sympathy
@manicbanjo
This is right up there with I have to wash and fold clothes AGAIN?!
@manicbanjo dishwashers help me pretend I'm a functioning adult
@manicbanjo
At least dishwashing life hacks make the job easier.
@manicbanjo Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux.
@manicbanjo quick reading and lack of sleep made me think it was THE FUCKING DUTCHES AGAIN
@manicbanjo saw this as I’m stood finishing my cup of tea and about to start the fucking dishes again and choked on my tea
@manicbanjo as we speak, dust is accumulating on your shelves

@manicbanjo When you're widowed, every chore feels this way. No one else takes care of the ice, the cats, the groceries, the cats, the laundry, the cats ... yeah, the cats take up a lot of my time. 😁

#cats #chores

@manicbanjo not only that but so many more things we never asked for.
You always have to take care of what you eat, look out for the sun, exercise, clean stuff that gets dirty even if you don't use it.

Always, for the rest of your life. For ever.
