Does nobody do dishes by hand any more?

So, I sent Ryan out to Target today to fetch a few household things that we've been sort of just getting by without. Namely a drying pan/rack for dishes, and clothes hangers. He came back with hangers and some bed sheets (which we also sort of need, since all of ours are for a queen-sized bed, and we're getting on with a twin right now). But no drying pan. He texted me twice, saying that he couldn't find any, and apparently even asked the staff at the shop. Target does not carry them, apparently.

WTF? Does nobody do dishes by hand any more? Y'all have seen my kitchen. We couldn't fit a dish washing machine in there if we tried. We do that chore the old-fashioned way, and it's really annoying without a drying rack.

I need to go get some stuff for supper, and I'm gonna see if Vons has anything we can use for dishes. Because I'm bored with keeping a bath towel on the counter for dishes. D:


On an unrelated note, I'm mostly feeling better. Some of you have heard by now of my adventures with my neighbour's boiler being right next to my bedroom, causing a serious fucking rash. For those that don't know, heat rash is a horrible, horrible thing, and I hate it, and I smell like three types of medicated skin cream and had to shave my head because it got ON MY SCALP. There was a point when wearing clothes caused serious physical pain, so it was either wear a dressing gown and and weep, or not wear anything and be freezing, which also sort of hurts after a while.

So, yay! Clothes! I could do without all the aloe goo on my head, though.
