So when I got out and was dressed, I was ready to go mop up the mess. This was when I found out that even though the sink we had installed in 2008 after we moved in had no overflow drain, it was constructed with a lip around the edge. The divider between the two sinks, was lower and the water had gone over that barrier like a dam and drained out the other side. Luckily, I hadn't blocked up that side with the drain stopper. Nothing was on the floor. I just wasted a whole lot of water.
This is the first time I had done this since we were in an apartment in Dodge City, KS, in 1955. I would bet that land lady never forgot the idiot girl who did it then. My record has been clean on this error for sixty-five years. I am determined to pay attention what I am doing from now on.
What could have distracted me?
I ave left outside faucets running, car door open, left vehicle running. I am so absent minded.
ReplyDelete:) Apparently something important was happening! I have the same kind of sink:)
ReplyDeleteI drove hubby's SUV to the grocery store. It's very different from my VW. When I came out, I realized I had left it running. I was lucky!
ReplyDeleteSee? you've not the only one!
I think we've all done things like that. I forget what I doing all of the time. I walk into a room and I've already forgotten what I went in there for!
