It really is the fucking dishes that do me in. It's never ending and soul crushing. No space for a dish washer.

Might not work for you but a countertop dishwasher was life changing in my old tiny apartment.

I have a Comfee Mini Plus, no water hookup you pour in from the top.

Question for anyone who's got one of these things: would it be practical to like keep it in a cabinet, and pull it out when you want to use it, then put it back when you're done? Not much counter space here... Also, someone mentioned about not needing a water hookup and just pouring water in. How difficult is it to drain those ones? I imagine if one were to try to store it between uses, you'd want it completely dry before putting away...

Maybe? You do have to make sure the drain hose is on quite tight to make sure it's sealed. Might be annoying putting it back on each time. If you could leave it on and wrap it around it I can't see why not. Mine was a Comfee Mini Plus so no water hookup, you could just pull it out of a cupboard so long as it fits. I mainly had mine because I had no hot water supply.

In this situation, I’d be tempted to hunt down some sort of small industrial hose quick-coupler for this situation. Something with a rubber gasket for sealing would work well, drains are not very high pressure.

Hell, a garden hose quick connect like from a hardware store might even do the trick.

My dishwasher has been broken for over a week. I can see how your situation is soul crushing. The only thing keeping me going is a fix in the near future.
