can we acknowledge that she got 7 other things done in those hours she was intermittently washing dishes i consider a tea and cat break a self care activity  we dont often allow ourselves that isnt an endless phone scroll   nt might see this as it took her 5 hours to do the dishes  i see this as she got so many tasks done on top of doing the dishes i dont care if its piecemeal it all got done plus some bonus things like tea shelf kind donut gesture forgotten wine  kudos to her and you for detailing this but in a supportive way
