And work to do I did. I actually worked quite a bit during the day, while Carrie worked in the kitchen,
After almost all dirty dishes were gone, she made dinner, which consisted of her dirtying a whole bunch of dishes. But it was a really good dinner—fish, cabbage with (fake) bacon, roasted carrots with a olive oil/lemon glaze, and mashed potatoes. You know, a REAL dinner.
Fortunately I was able to wash all the newly-dirtied dishes after dinner before bed. So I think right now there are maybe two dirty dishes in the whole house, which is, sadly, something of an unusual event around here.
