Domestic trivia

Woke up at 03.30 this morning and could not get back to sleep (not been sleeping at all well recently, probably due to feeling a bit low).

On the good side, this meant that by 07.30 I had done my Design homework, put away all the dishes, scrubbed all the kitchen surfaces, and gone to the gym and tracked a band of Uruk-hai westward across the plains run 5 km on the treadmill.

Then I got home to discover that a sock had got trapped in the door of the washing machine, meaning that the machine had leaked a huge pool of water all over the utility room floor. And the cat had been monumentally sick on the playroom floor. Oh well.

Last time our washer leaked, I had thoughts of putting a drain in the laundry and a threshold to act as a dam. After we replace the windows, we will start on the floor. (Our house is 20 years old and the floors & windows had a 15 year life span.) When I redo the floor, I will use the dam and drain approach to protect the new floor.
