no podcast, no music, nothing. just you, warm soapy water, and your dirty dishes from last night. byung-chul han writes that time has a scent when it has duration. for me, that scent this morning was dawn dish soap.
I once had a roommate who would wash her dishes to “it’s all coming back to me now” every night. She said it was long enough to get through all the dishes.
Getting to put on a good song and zone out on some manual labor to end the day
especially if you’re like me and eating dinner late tn!!!! now it wont be midnight and there’s so many dishes to do which means i dont get overstimulated and wait to do them in the middle of the night when i am of sound mind
