Hm. I’m racking up failures more often than successes these days. I had to run the dishwasher half empty twice today just to figure out that yes, I am right, the damn thing is not working properly anymore.

Is hand-washing everything better for the environment or worse?

——————————————————————————————-

SCORE CARD:

Failure # 2 billion and three: ran the dishwasher two times just to figure out its kaput.

Failure # 2 billion and two: Then, this morning, I saw a huge, pristine piece of paper towel, with two tiny damp spots in the middle, lying on top of the trash.

Failure #2 billion and one:  After lecturing the kids about making good choices to help the environment, I shut off NINE LIGHTS last night after everyone was in bed. NINE!

Failure #2 billion: Couldn’t get the soup guy to accept my used container.

Success #2: Re-used my Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cup and survived the server’s horrified expression.

Success #1: We bought three big plastic Gatorade bottles on the way back from the Cape today. We will wash them out and use them as water bottles.
