There comes a time in everyone's life when you just have to do chores. My most onerous burden is washing dishes. I admit I have been lax in this lately so I've come up with a game plan.
Step 1: Throw away all plastic containers recycled from former food items. In one fell swoop I eliminate 50% of cleanup today.
Step 2: Get a dog and name it Prewash. Set dirty pans on the floor after they cool and Prewash does the rest. Ingenious!
Step 3: After grocery shopping for the month, prepare bulk meals. Oven fry that 10 lb. bag of chicken quarters, bag and freeze. Same with frozen hamburger patties and Italian sausage links. Nuking food on paper plates = less cleanup.
Step 4: After the monthly cooking massacre throw the dirty pans in a tub in the van and go to the car wash! High pressure is your friend, just don't hot wax them. + you can wash the van too.
I had some thoughts on other chores but have no clue where to get a laundry monkey, so more thought is required obviously.
I hope you chuckled at least once reading this.
Actually, you need a pickup to car wash your pots and pans. I know, I’ve tried it. A van gets soggy. In the bed? No problem!
I don’t mind washing the dishes, but thanks for my next dog’s name. PreWash. LOL
Just play some good music, or put on a foreign language lesson.
Buy dishes you like a lot. You know, like Spode.
Hire a housekeeper. Once things start to go missing around the house you will appreciate your stuff better, and not mind cleaning it so much.
SIMPLIFY! SIMPLIFY! SIMPLIFY! - LOWER your standards. Switch
to STAINLESS STEEL cookware. - Realize urine ain’t all that
nasty. Accept your house & be glad it is not in HOUSE
BEAUTIFUL. - Soak your dishes in a sinkful of sudsy hot
water! - LEMI-SHINE packets to run in your dishwasher once
a month or so is revolutionary! Embrace IMPERFECTION!
Bite the bullet and get married.
No more cleaning for you!
The last dishwasher got half my stuff. Wasn’t a very good cleaner or bed warmer either. I’m getting too old to find a new one.
Hard to argue.
Though gettin’ too old isn’t the same as bein’!
