The dishwasher comes today
I know it won’t be installed for another couple (painful and dusty) months, but I can’t help but get excited about this little development. When we first decided to live together in SF, we had “dishwasher” on our must-list. But we found a charming little apartment in Cole Valley that had everything else going for it (including a window that opened from the kitchen to the bathroom!), so we cheerfully did dishes together.
When we looked for houses in Berkeley, again we added “dishwasher” to the must-list — it’s such a great appliance and can prevent so many messes and subsequent squabbles. When shopping for houses, most had dishwashers or at least hook-ups; we didn’t think we’d have to compromise again. Ahh, but again, we found a cute little bungalow in the more affordable part of town that didn’t have a dishwasher. Instead of cheerfully doing dishes together, we had a baby and made up a schedule. Alec does the odd days and I do the even days. That also means that about 5 times a year, Alec does dishes two nights in a row.
But yippeeeeeeee, it’s coming this afternoon!
