Dishes

[dotinthesky]

It sometimes feels like I spend half of my life washing, drying and putting away dishes. Not only the ones used for the pousada but also the ones used just by mom and I.

As most of you know, my mom has Alzheimer’s. She tries to help with the wash up but often I have to go through everything and wash them again: I spot smears of butter, coffee stains, etc, which she misses. I’ve even had to pull all cutlery out once when I found some dirty ones tucked amongst the clean ones.

We have a dishwasher here. It's the first dishwasher I've had as an adult and I'm loathe to go back and live without one. I might end up moving apartments just to see if I can sort one out for myself.

Anything new would be hard for my mom as she can’t learn new things. But a dishwasher sounds great... I feel sometimes like my hands are constantly wet.

Yeah your mom shouldn't be involved with that dishwasher if it comes. It will be just for you and maybe the cleaning lady.

I feel like my hands and nails are in way better shape since I got a dishwasher. They look ten years younger! 😄

I’ve got dry hands from the soaps and calluses from all the leaves sweeping! 😂
