So having had kitchen sink issues this week (if you are into detail torture you can read the previous post...) I haven't really been able to do dishes very well. I was able to do them for the first part of the week but it was veritable torture and by Tuesday night I had removed all plumbing from under the sink. Despite our best efforts to keep dishes down they have still accumulated (even with Mycal not eating at home as he has been in the field they've piled up...how do they do that so quickly?) After having the situation taken care of today I was looking at the kitchen and caught myself thinking 'Yay I get to do dishes today!' I immediately saw the problem with the statement and was somewhat aghast. Since then I've had that part from "The Emperor's New Groove" where he is trying all the other potions and is then turned back into a llama and says 'I'm a llama again!...wait a minute...' That moment of cinematic excellence pretty much illustrates the return to my dish washing ability.
p.s. I later burned my finger so washing dishes is a little painful now...I would love to believe the universe just doesn't support my dish washing efforts but I'm not sure who would take over for me if I stopped. Sometimes I think the cosmos are confused.
