This will be brief. If you’d like to know a consequence of the state of mind I’ve been in over the past few weeks––one of frantic exhaustion––take note: I have been using dishwasher detergent for laundry, and laundry detergent to wash my dishes.
How does this happen? you might ask. How does one make such an idiotic error?
At home, my dishwashing detergent comes in a paper box. The laundry detergent comes in a plastic bottle. Here, the packaging is reversed. For the past five weeks, I’ve been under the impression that my dishwasher is broken, broken, when it is really my brain that has malfunctioning equipment.
But soap is soap, right? Right??
Anyway, I’m off to the Sheraton to try and spot some celebrity dignitaries (they’re in town this weekend for the Brookings Center’s US-Islamic World Forum). I’ll let you all know if I spot John Kerry…
So, how did it work? Maybe you are on to something here.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work at all! The laundry detergent was clogging up the dishwasher…it was leaking, and the dishes never got really clean…there were always globs of soap still on them…haha, i’m glad i finally figured this out!
