Alright, this is really embarrassing

I worked yesterday and I came home so tired and in so much pain that I really thought I might just die but, of course, I started a load of laundry, scooped the litter box, and got on here...then I saw a pair of support panty hose on the floor and they were supposed to be in the laundry.  I was really annoyed...I picked them up and went into the bathroom and threw them into the sink with some soap and turned on the water.  I FORGOT to turn OFF the water...I flooded the bathroom AND the basement...my husband has to deal with the basement because I CAN'T...I used every towel I have and soaked the water up, had to wash and dry them AND the rugs that got soaked.  I ended up filling a huge garbage bag with all of the things that were under the sink...mostly makeup that I don't use any more...lotions that I received as gifts and did not like, and other CRAP.  I now have a clean bathroom...I can't WAIT to see my electric bill and my water bill.  Dear God...when you are THAT tired...do everyone a favor and GO TO BED!  The cat kept looking toward the bathroom and the OTHER cat was walking around in it but I was watching TV, decompressing and I didn't HEAR the water running.  Neither did my husband, he came in here and talked to me and went down to the basement...boy did he come upstairs FAST!

Love you all,

Ellen
