Well this gave me pause sir. Nicely done. Now if you'll excuse me some other guy is telling me to make my bed too. What is it with you Sailors and chores?

We've been brainwashed into thinking chores are necessary.. And enjoyable!

So beautifully written. I feel manipulated into wanting to wash my dishes. I loved this. 💕

Yes, I am working for the world dishwashing committee.. My plan is working nicely.

You're always reading me stuff, and I love that. Thank you always, your friendship is important to me! Loves

It made me smile, particularly:

'I get used to a certain quantity of dishes.

But every once in a while, something big happens, and that quantity decreases.

I notice afterward that I spend just a little less time washing.'

Just knowing I made a friend smile from hundreds (hundreds right? I don't think it's thousands..) of miles away, is enough for me! Thanks my man!

This is a killer read. It’s a real thinker. I think I’ll come back to it regularly when I need some perspective.
