@LowExperience2368 @Seagoon_ Female friendships are the best ☺️

(The only catch for me is I tend to be someone people come to with problems. So there's been days when my bestie has come to me with troubles, and then my other bestie, and then mum, and then wifey 😫.)

Anyways. Grateful thoughts.

One of the ways wifey and I split jobs is that I do the dishes at night and she, in theory, puts them away every morning.

In practice, most days I end up doing it.

Well...

A couple of days ago, I waited to see how long it would take for her to do it.

6pm β€” nope. 7pm. 8pm.

Are you going to put them away? "In a minute!"

9pm. 10pm.

Eventually it gets to midnight. Still not put away and she's fast asleep.

So I put them away. At midnight. I might have made a bit more noise than usual in the process.

She wakes up: "Why are you doing that now? It's midnight!"

Oh sorry, it got to midnight and the dishes still weren't put away from this morning, so I'm doing it...

Anyways.

I woke up this morning, and the dishes were all in the drawers.

Grateful ☺️
