I could eat your writing with a spoon. And then leave said spoon in the sink to be washed later with the dinner dishes.

Neither my current home, where I’ve lived for 26+ years, or the apartment I lived in for 6+ years after college, have/had a dishwasher. I have always lived alone and rarely entertain* so theoretically piles of dirty dishes should not be an issue.

And yet ...

Let’s just say this article REALLY resonated with me and I will be re-visiting it for inspiration.

*I cook a lot to TAKE dishes to gatherings elsewhere, which is frequently the source of my mounds of dishes, because my ADHD lack of time management skills often means I’m racing out the door the instant something is finished, and then when I return home I’m just not up to dealing with all of it. Which creates a bigger problem the next day, and so on and so forth. I’m also on a septic system, so I don’t like to use too much water at any given time. It can be challenging!
