idle thought while doing dishes
i wash my dutch oven soon after using it (or at least i try to), because if i don't the residue from cooking will harden over time and stick more firmly to the enamel, and it will be very difficult to scrub off.
i tell someone when i'm hurt by something they did (or at least i try to), because if i don't the residue of hurt and anger will harden over time and stick more firmly in my heart, and it will be very difficult to scrub off.
