I'm sure there's some sort of universal law that deals with dish washing.

It's called, you'll keep using dishes every day even if you don't clean them, so they will accumulate. ;)

As for the still sleepy, check the colour under your bottom eyelid. If it's pale pink instead of red, you're running low on iron, and that's a sure way to feel teh tired all the time.

heh, reminds me that I have to go take my iron sulfate now...
