I know!! Time is everything. I rearranged my life a few years ago
(right after 9/11, in fact) to reclaim as many moments of it as my own.
There's a weird kind of ownership in using my time doing my own dishes
instead of stressing about a client or somebody else's problems.

The other part of it is that I can micromanage my kitchen by doing my own
dishes. I'm a bit of a control freak. Too many times in the past I'd have
my husband or a housekeeper put something in the dishwasher that didn't
belong (like my knives) or stack my depression glass berry bowls in a bad
way. Stuff that I didn't want to get mad about, or petty over, so it made
my life easier to just do it myself!

Usually I leave the pots for my husband to do. Especially the cast iron or
bigger pots. Cause I get tired after a bit, with the lifting.
