Kitchen chores

Cleaned the dishwasher bottom rack... we had a mold infection because someone didn't clean a small irregular shaped spice container well enough.

I know that's the cause because there was mold inside as well as all over the outside.. nothing else in the dishwasher had that extent of mold growth. I'm sure stuffing the plug inside the container and putting it upside down so that it retained water was a contributing factor.

I don't know when that was washed, but I just found out yesterday, and by then it had spread from the top rack to the side, and dripped down to the bottom rack. Yuck.

I hate cleaning up after other people.. especially when they yell at me for cleaning in a stupid way and then go back in their rooms without bothering to help. I'm so moving out the first chance I get.

Anyway, since I was cleaning, I decided to reorganize the drawers a bit.. I emptied out two drawers and condensed it into one. I used the remaining drawer to stack the (hopefully) clean dishes.

So one good thing did come out of it.. I don't have to stand on tiptoe or get a stool to get dishes anymore! :)

Random Observations

Moving this from wordpress....

I’ve noticed recently that I can hear the exact moment my shower turns from cold water to hot water.. I can also hear a difference a few seconds before that point.

Is it just me / my shower?

Yes random… but very useful when it’s winter and I don’t want to take my clothes off quite yet, get my hand wet, or burn my hand because I felt for it too late.

Dreams and Health

Moved from wordpress...

I've had very vivid dreams all last week.. they all involved some sort of physical conflict [aka. fighting bad guys].

It seems to coincide with how healthy I am...

A few days ago, I thought I was well when my dry mouth finally went away (I had it for a week). Then I had a few days of sleepless nights (sleeping at 4 and 7am).

Even though I felt ok after those nights, it seems yesterday was the delayed reaction -- I woke up feeling weak all over, with dry mouth.

Ironic since the sun actually came out yesterday.. it was like the weather was laughing at me. :( I didn't even have energy to snap at my brother when he was having an attitude... now that's pretty bad.. ;)

Today I woke up feeling the opposite, and last night was the first night I didn't have a vivid dream about fighting some enemy. So maybe I'm totally well now?

*fingers crossed*
