Hi Heather, glad you're sleeping better!!

Good evening all.
Oh... #1 for me, on the left.
I have some dishes too, my dishwasher didn't get started til late this afternoon, so I don't want to empty it yet, or they'll still be damp from the steam. ( 1st world problems )

I don't mind doing dishes, not gross stuff you have to really scrub, but just normal dish washing. I find it calming, and relaxing.
I used to really not mind it when we lived at the lake because the kitchen faced the lake, and we have a bay window over the sink.

There was usually some sort of something to watch. Birds, ducks or geese...the occasional fish jumping, etc.
This was a common scene at the lake, our end is shallow, and they'd be fishing.
