it started with flowers

this is the tiny vase of spring flowers in the bathroom. the same vase that accidently got hit this morning while i was washing my face. the vase with the small amount of the water that spilled all over the counter. the water that got hurriedly sopped up by the closest towel. the very towel that accidently swiped at my pearl earrings sitting on the counter and sent one careening into the sink and down the drain. the drain with the pipes under the sink that i had to figure out how to open. the pipes that finally pulled apart and sent trapped water gushing all over the floor of the bathroom cabinet. the bathroom cabinet that had soooo much stuff in it. the stuff that i totally ignored because i needed to find my earring! the earring that i did finally manage to retrieve. thank goodness.
