I just shoveled another foot of snow off the sidewalk while the baby slept. And a nook for the dog to do what she's got to do.
I can haz Spring now?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have just made the decision to switch back from the green dishwasher detergent because it was requiring too much pre- and post-washing. I can't imagine what it would be like with no detergent at all.
Consumer Reports had a blurb recently about how you don't need to pre-rinse with dishwashers. Ha! I think both that and failing to use dish soap only works for newer dishwashers.

NWS just changed to predicted totals: 20-30"
I don't think I am getting off the street until the weekend. We'll have to shovel all day tomorrow. And possibly Friday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a pretty new dishwasher--I think it was new when I moved in 3 or 4 years ago. But stuff was coming out with a film on it with the green detergent, and with more crud. And that was with me always using the overflow cup. Without that extra, it wasn't even worth running. The first shot was not a representative test.

Wow. The woman who told me she didn't believe people were paying full price just emailed me again (I didn't answer her last time) to tell me she just re-read my email that she now thinks I don't understand her.
Um, lady? Just pay your nanny.

Unless you have severely-soiled, like "crawling-around-in-mud" dirt caked on your clothes, it's quite OK to use half the recommended amount of detergent, which is less harsh to the fabric and will save wear and tear on your clothes, too.
Sort of why "shampoo, rinse, repeat" is standard advice on shampoo bottles. Not because it gets your hair that much cleaner, but that way you use it twice as fast and buy more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Um, lady? Just pay your nanny.
Seriously.
My dishwasher is for shit -- it especially can't clean anything at all greasy. Like my butter knife, say. But maybe that's the store brand detergent I've been putting in it? Unclear.
It might be raining here? I am really glad I'm not responsible for cancelling school today.

Growing up, everything went straight in the dishwasher. There was no rinsing. It never was an issue.
