By hand. I’ve only lived in a place with a dishwasher for 1 year. During that time I felt like the dishes never got truly clean. Like if shit was stuck to a plate or bowl it would need manual intervention. If a pan sat for a day and shit got really caked on it wasn’t even worth putting it in the dish washer. I don’t see how it saves on water either. Like I don’t leave the water running while I wash the dishes. I don’t fill the sink. I rinse a plate. Turn the water off. Scrub it down. Rinse it again. Water is on for maybe 5-10 seconds a dish. Scrubbing does all the work.

Mentally, it’s kinda like taking a shower in the sense that my mind goes to a completely different place and all things that bothered me before are flushed out. That change in activity or environment really lets me process shit in a way that meling in front of a screen doesn’t.

I walk my dog.

When I was a wee lad my little brothers were playing with matches in Mom and Dad’s room. All of a sudden Mom bolts upstairs with a pitcher of water and yells, “CALL 911, SAY FIRE!!! RUNNNNNNN!!!” Then like the flash I was on the phone in 2.98813ms. 20 minutes later I’m playing in a fire truck and a bed is getting thrown out of my house. That was a fun day.

I go out with my dog and kick a ball around. We both use some energy. The day doesn’t seem as slow any more. I actually have more energy to want to do something after. It’s not much but it works.
