I drastically reduced the detergent and then ran a second short cycle of just water for an extra rinse. Still kinda taste the soap. Guess I’ll be rinsing everything myself. :/

(The only Finish easily available is a $16 1L bottle and I didn’t see another gel so I’m not doing liquid unless I find something cheaper.)

Next time I’ll look for something that will take many small things too, rather than a few large/tall things.

Ps. If you have sensitive skin be careful as QV Wash has changed to something much runnier and harsher with shimmer I don’t remember it having. It’s quite stripping and drying now (even on body and I don’t have dry skin). Might want to skip using it on your face because it just desiccated mine

You can fold the rack down if you haven't worked that out yet. Maybe try that. It might give you a better rinse.

The finish gel will give you about 6 months worth of washes. 1 litre ÷ 5ml = 200 washes.

I am learning a lot about dishwashing.

I have folded the rack down.

Too wired. I only slept for five hours and drank a single coffee today.

No more for me. I'm hypothesising that I'm a caffeine lightweight because I'm not eating three square meals a day.

potentially goes on stimulants

The coffee stim and the adhd med feelings are worlds apart honestly.

Do I pay $41.20 plus $11 tram fare return to the airport, at the mercy of timetables especially for the return leg when my flight arrives past 10pm... or $84 plus a bit in petrol to drive and park over 7 days without worrying about times. I think the latter is winning out and would be cheaper than uber too. So it shall be.

I spent nearly all of today in bed drifting in and out of sleep and wandering through various YouTube videos and wiki articles. It was nice enough in some ways to do nothing and rest but I felt kind of gross by the evening and haven't drunk nearly enough water. Feeling rather meh about doing one day of work tomorrow before heading off again but I'll just start early and end early as much as I can and keep it simple...
