Start with the small stuff. Run a dishwasher cleaner tablet through on hot. Top up the rinse aid and salt and perhaps clean out the drain thingy at the bottom .
Then pour out a glass of really nice something, possibly something you were keeping for a special occasion.
Then do a runner.

kitty throw your hands up in the air and head for the hills. Screaming. They'll all tiptoe around you at least for a while.
Can't the cat have diarrhoea where everyone else gets it?
I don't mean to make light of the situation, but it seems a sense of humour has not deserted you. 
Kitty. You have my sympathy
Kitty sometimes there is a deluge of stuff that all comes at once and it's just plain hard to deal with. Have a huge (((hug))) and some and a few ♥♥♥♥♥♥'s that I just copied from another thread. 
Kitty If it's any consolation, things are not looking too rosy here either but I won't steal your thunder. 
Bl...dy hell kitty, b....r hibernating, I'd emigrate!
Seriously though I can't believe you're still vertical, big (hug) and is all I can offer
I've just taken stock and:
My mum is dying
DD3 and her children are still here
The Idiot still is
DD2 has broken her wrist and her DH has a new job, can't take time off yet, so she and 2 more DGD are coming to stay
DSiL isn't coping with the death of her estranged son
DN is being harassed by her two eldest sons at the instigation of her estranged husband
A cat (don't know which one!)has a funny tummy and has diarrhoea in hard to reach places
DD1 is stressing about DS1 preferring to go to the football rather than out for a meal for her 40th
And the dishwasher is useless and keeps leaving 'stuff' on everything!
Is it too late to hibernate!
