Since we started living in the bus, I've been washing dishes
outside. I had been washing dishes at
the laundry room's sink, but quickly stopped that when I saw a neighbor use the
very same basin for cleaning his cat's litter box. Let's all say, "Eww!" During the Summer, the activity was not a
bother because the weather was pleasant!
As the warm weather waned, however, I would avoid doing the dishes too
late at night and would sometimes leave them overnight to soak. Then the colder weather really hit and I then
had little desire to wash dishes in the morning and would wait till high
noon! There is a bachelor here who saw
me washing dishes in the morning and then saw me doing them a few hours
later. He commented, "You are
ALWAYS out here washing dishes." I
wanted to spit out that of course I was out here all the time. Children and husband use utensils and
dishware every meal, you idiot! And I use
cookware to make those meals, numbskull.
But I just laughed and said, "Ha ha ... that's how it
goes."
Anyway, grievance over...
So Michael finished the drainpipes for the sinks and life
became much warmer!! I still have to
bring in a tub of water to soak and rinse the dishes, but now I can do the
chore in the comfort of the cozy bus - without any comments from neighbors
without responsibilities!
Ok, whining really over.
Imagine when we get the faucets running! Then I'll really be living high on the hog!!
I feel ya on that one! Our last camping trip was chilly and I really had no desire to heat up the water and then wash dishes outside. Luckily we had the option to save them until we got home. ;)
