Day of disasters

Mental fuzz led me to leave the taps running down in the kitchen at work, thereby soaking the floor. Am not the first to have done this, but it's still mortifying. Must ramp up the mindfulness to CONSTANT. (There was also a little incident ten days back with a stove element left burning while I went out: low, very low, the way people simmer soups, but I was not simmering soup; so my wisdom now is to remove all pans from burners when I leave the kitchen.)

OTOH have just discovered sleep socks stuffed in the pockets of my other bathrobe, where I put then after wearing them downstairs the other day and then wanted to weigh myself without their extra woolly weight. So *that's* alright.

My husband teases me because I cannot leave the apartment without checking the microwave, stove burners and coffee pot. If I check, but don't leave right after I do, then I HAVE to check them all again as I walk out. Let's just say I've burned a few pots in my life and don't want to chance burning the building down.

Remembering to check is the bit that defeats me. If I did then I wouldn't leave pots simmering.
