A morning kvetch, which will hopefully enable me to release and move on: When sharing the common areas of a household with 8 people it is important to follow a few rules to avoid chaos and inconvenience. For instance: always clean up after yourself in the kitchen and never, ever leave dishes in the sink, especially overnight. I often wake early and use that quiet time while everyone is asleep to do cooking for the day. More often than not, the kitchen is trashed and I have to clean it before I can do my own chores.
While I'm at it - never, ever, leave cast iron soaking in water - soapy water at that!
Oh, and we compost not only because we are tree-hugging hippies but because any food scraps left in the trash will attract animals to the outdoor trash bins and they will tear it up, leaving a huge mess for someone to clean up, and likely not the people who caused the problem.
Okay. Thanks! Now I get to tell this to the 8 people who need to hear it, but hopefully with no venom.
