So, I have dinner plans last night, and my friend calls and says he’s going to be late getting off work. No problem, says I … and I proceed to use the spare time to pay some bills, play with the kats, read emails … completely forgetting that I was RUNNING A BATH!!!

An entire cupboard-full of sopping wet towels later, my bathroom was no longer an inch deep in water; my bedroom carpet had been reduced to mere squelching; the light fixture in the dining room downstairs was no longer conducting water onto the carpet; and the stream making its way through a kitchen cabinet onto the counter had stopped. Did I mention that I had to use every towel I own to sop up the water? Soaking wet towels are very heavy to carry downstairs to the washing machine. Surprisingly, the carpet is almost dry this morning since I put a floor fan out overnight.

Thankfully I won’t have to worry about this again until I take my annual bath next year … assuming I can get another friend to buy me dinner that soon.
