Running my dishwasher.

Not just because my dishes needed washing, but because it is a soothing sound to me.
I practiced some Miles Davis (piano) and Guns 'n Roses (guitar) today but mostly just lazed around. I never really found my mojo.
I did get some grocery shopping done--that was a good thing.
I look forward to sleep. Maybe tomorrow will be less dreary and cool.
Are there certain household sounds that soothe you? The dishwasher is one for me.

But... we all know Kitty "does" all your dishes for you. Doesn't she just purr??
My bedroom is too far from any major appliance for me to hear them. (They were in the last house, too.) But, I always leave a fan running in my bedroom so I can feel the air stirring around me as I sleep.

@TheHorse I see... Once in a while, I open the doors and windows to let a breeze blow through, if it's not humid outside. It normally IS humid here, so to get a breeze, I leave the fan running. (It's always 72F in the house.)

My mojo's been on vacation since Thursday... I think it's due back today.

The dryer is soothing I guess. It's going to be 91 today and tomorrow. Would gladly send you some heat if you need/want it! Happy 4th of July!

It has been a while since I have had a dishwasher. It would sound soothing, I suppose. I like fans, and the air conditioner right now. I like hearing Bob watch TV in the next room as well.

I have a fan in my room and it is soothing to hear it make its rounds.

My electric fan sound. Rushing breezes always soothe me.

I can't think of any household sounds that soothe me...Not any that I can talk about here, anyway.

I did have a dishwasher back when I lived in my trailer. It was the first time I had one. But then it broke. Now I don't have one. This isn't a household sound, but purring soothes me.
