Let my suffering be your reasoning to thrive. Let it be today. Let this be your motivation. Clean, my sisters brothers and none of the above. Clean.
Same, did this last Sunday and I was super proud of myself for finally doing it
Congrats!
Same, yep. Dishes put away and I fed myself? Winning! I even took the pup out and figured we should head out to the awesome dog park down the way —but that’s when the car’s head gasket blew. Should’ve stopped while I was winning. 😅🤷🏼♂️
shit happens. hope you didn’t blown a gasket as well
The older I get, the more Uncle Iroh gets me. 🤌🏼
It’s pretty demoralizing to see it full of dirty dishes again the next day, though.
I never had this problem when I lived alone but now it’s a daily issue having my housemates leaving their shit from the night before in there. Living with other people is hell.
Oh shit yeah. Fuck all of that.
Then asking them to clean their dishes and having them argue with you…
My housemates constantly leave their dishes on the table, despite me always asking them to rinse off the damn dishes and put them in the empty and open dishwasher. Sometimes they don’t even eat what I make and have the gall to call it “yucky”.
In case it’s not obvious - these are my kids.
My housemates constantly leave their dishes on the table.
I’d almost prefer that. At least it’d be out of the way so I can wash mine. I don’t care if they eat what I do or not. I just want to not have to deal with their shit being in the way all the time when I need to use the kitchen.
In case it wasn’t obvious (re-reading it now, I don’t think it was…) - I was talking about my kids 😅
Have you tried training them with a spray bottle?
It really is an accomplishment sometimes. Good job! Now i need to clean my kitchen…
Wooo! I cleaned my sink on Friday too! But then I had company and might have broken my foot and it’s back 😭
Clean sink = happy kitchen
I haven’t used a cup/mug in about 6 months. I buy a coffee for $2, then refill that paper cup for a week u until it leaks from the seams. then I buy another one.
I also just eat out of the pan/pots now… I’m a savage and stopped caring about things. sigh . sucks
It’s hard sometimes, just know that we’re all here rooting for you brother.
I just bought a fancy mechanical keyboard from China. When I did my checkout the price went down when I changed my country from USA to Canada.
Not to dunk on your achievement or anything, but isn’t that a toilet brush?
It’s definitely sold as one here where I live…
Otherwise, congrats!
Any brush can be a toilet brush, you just need to stick it in the toilet. I have two, the second one looks like a dish brush but I got it because my main toilet brush doesn’t reach everywhere at the bottom because it’s too round/big.
They also sell them for washing things like glasses or water bottles
Yup. As a former bartender, I see a bottle brush.
I rented a house once that had a hammered copper kitchen sink. Never have I been more shamed in my life. It is the reason I trained myself to wash as I cook. It turns out that racing to wash before the water boils over or the food burns is a great way to keep my focus.
I don’t even have to deal with any pain, just sweat, and I still struggle to do it even somewhat regularly…
I do have a dishwasher, so loading and unloading that is easy enough. Washing clothes… already a bit more difficult because it requires a certain time investment.
Sweeping or mopping the floors? Cleaning dust off of shelves? Actually organizing my stuff? Impossible.
For me it’s the sense of accomplishment that my printed image of when the sink was last cleaned is working perfectly 🤣
I just don’t buy extra dishes, so I have to clean immediately after use.
Last Sunday I felt something weird happening to me and out of sudden I cleaned this disgusting corner of my room, that was full of actual trash, I threw away so many things. There’s still work to do in my dresser and then I’ll start in the kitchen, but I’m happy I managed to do this one thing. Anyway, I wanted to share my small win and applaud you for yours. Truly, congrats.
