I am embarrassed. The dish washer never worked as was the case with the other built in appliances and I have not been feeling tip top, so I have too many dishes to hand
 wash, but I can save the water that way and use it to flush, mop and water plants. That is how it goes with my tiny washing machine, or bathing water too. I
 am cutting back on some resources. I air dry my clothes.

I need to stop listening to the news; it is nauseating.
