Not a difficult one, but a time suck. As you can see in the photo below, the dishes had started to pile before I even began.
Learnings:
1. If you don't do the dishes regularly enough during the week, it sometimes attracts insects. We attracted fruit flies. They soon multiplied and spread throughout different areas of our apartment. (Kristin is making me post this as she thinks it warrants a challenge do-over) What we had then was a fruit fly massacre on our hands and they didn't even see it coming.
To get rid fruit flies:
-Put some wine and fruit in a small bowl.
-Cover the top with tin foil and poke holes in it.
-Wait for them to fly in and drown on that which they love.
2. Washing the dishes by hand is therapeutic. I have plenty of time to do something mindless and think. It's good brain time.
3. Our dishwasher has been on the fritz and leaves our stuff all cloudy. I also have a sneaking suspicion that our dishwasher uses sewage water to rinse everything. I know they are clean because I did them.
NEXT WEEK'S CHALLENGE - NOT BITING MY NAILS
