Stupid Is As Stupid Does

If I thought the things that I did in my last post were crazy, I have since topped them all. On the evening of November 24th, I did something pretty stupid. I was trying to do something good, but apparently didn't think through it very well. I set two gallons of bleach on the top step of the stairs. My next stupid move sent one of the gallons tumbling down the stairs. Everything was fine until it landed at the bottom. It broke open at the lid and sprayed the entire office with bleach! Keith and I quickly worked to clean up the puddle of bleach on the carpet. It amazingly doesn't look too bad, although there is a lighter colored circle where the bottle landed. We didn't think to clean the bottoms steps, so there are some bleach spots there. The worst part was the pictures that were splashed. I have a scrap book desk in the office with pictures on them. I cried when I saw that they were ruined. They were professional pictures. At least we have other hard and/or digital copies of all the pictures. I think you can safely say that the office has been sanitized. I would put this pretty close to the category of when I tried to back out of the garage before the door was open, which I did earlier this year. We still have not replaced the door. Hopefully it doesn't look too bad (I think it probably does though).

If this wasn't bad enough, earlier in the day, I realized that I had lost my small flash drive. I had kept it in my purse in a place where it could easily fall out. The Wednesday prior I had looked at it and thought that I needed to move it. However, I failed to act on that prompting. I have checked all the places that I had been during the previous week, but have been unable to find it. I am hoping that it has been destroyed or is never found as I had some very personal information on it.
