Dishes and Cheesecake

I saw a comic on the internet about life is an endless cycle of washing the dishes, putting them away, taking them back out, eating on them, making them dirty and washing them again.

This wasn't the meme I saw but it sure did come to mind. This and laundry. Always. Only dishes are daily.

Yesterday while I was cooking dinner, I loaded the dishwasher and started it. Then after dinner, while the dishes were still going, the pile of dishes and pots was all right back. We went to bed, Geoff unloaded the dishwasher before he went to bed, and I reloaded it at 10am. Started it again but still had dishes in the sink for a 2nd run later today. Geoff made lunch, dirtied up a frying pan, plates, bowl, and so that gets added to the next round. I'll make something later, maybe a BLT salad, which will dirty a sheet pan, a cutting board, a big bowl. 

Geoff sucks at loading the dishwasher, so he may start it sometimes but I undo it. I've given him guidance and instruction, but he just ... doesn't adhere. 

So I'm always the loader, he's the unloader. We're a good team. 

Today, my 2pm meeting flaked out a little bit. They couldn't log into the platform they needed, the guy who gets the verification emails is on the road today and he wasn't going to be able to let us know every time he gets a verification notification (honestly, why not just one verification. whycome dozens?) We rescheduled for tomorrow. I thought about going to the gym but I have a 4:15 and didn't want to cut it close. 

Instead, I went into the kitchen and made a graham cracker crust/base for a cheesecake. I bought a springform pan weeks and weeks ago and it has been bouncing back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table, taunting me. So I found an easy peasy recipe (seriously, 9 graham crackers, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 5 tbsp butter, melted. mix. Bake for 15 min. Set aside. 

Now I have to commit myself to making the actual cheesecake, I guess. 

It's like I jumped into the pool and I'm doing T-Rex arms and walking around in circles not ready to plop the whole rest of my body down into the water. 

I finished up that call and immediately started dinner, it finished right as Geoff walked in the door. I went to the gym. Got there at like 6pm, the place was packed and hopping. Got a treadmill and set to work. Playlist was great, some very slower songs to start with, which was good because I wasn't ready for big movement. Ran a bit for a few songs. Buffalo Stance, Toxicity, Let's Go Crazy, but nowhere near as much as yesterday. Ended up with 5 minutes more but exact same distance. Thought about staying on for one whole hour but I was so hungry at that point. Had to pack it in. And dinner was waiting at home.

As were more dishes. 

Geoff asked about the graham cracker crust. I told him it was too late to make the cheesecake but I would do it tomorrow. We have a 2 hour webinar that starts at 10am, so I'll dig in then. 

Right then. Bed! Digits below.
