I've had "Wash Dishes" as a recurring daily task on my Omnifocus To Do list for forever - the kind that when I check it off it doesn't come back dated for tomorrow, it comes back dated the day after the day I checked off. The theory being, if I decide to skip cleaning up the kitchen for a couple of days, I'll know that I have double (or whatever appropriate multiple) the clean up necessary when I do get to it.

So, of course, I had that long period of time in which I didn't do a goddamn thing, including dishes, so the date has been long in the past for quite a while now. But the kitchen has been the focus of my limited housecleaning energies for some time, and the date has gradually crept up. Today I checked of today's "Wash Dishes" item.

I had kind of assumed that, between the many days when I didn't cook and the occasional times when someone else would wash my dishes for me by the time I "caught up" on the To Do list my kitchen would be, you know, clean. That is not the case.

Fortunately I am well positioned to spend some time eating either really simple stuff that shouldn't spawn much in the way of cleanup or take-out for the foreseeable future. With the exception of bread and dumplings, but neither of those have to made very often. Counters, you will be not only cleaned but rearranged! Floor, you will be steam mopped beneath the cushy mats (which will be taken out and hosed off). Yea, even the ovens shall be cleaned according to their needs - I don't think they have a "self-clean" option but I will figure something not too toxic out. The very windows shall be washed and perhaps even the waterline to the icemaker will be connected, though that means crawling under the house so I don't know if I really want to commit to that just yet.
