Reaching into my medicine cabinet for toothpaste, I brushed against a small porcelain cup. It fell out of the cabinet into the sink and I flinched waiting for it to shatter.
But it didn’t. Instead THE SINK BROKE!!!
How does a sink break?!?! Who even knew a sink COULD break?!?! Oh, but that’s right, it’s MY sink. ha ha ha ha ha So of course it broke. Of course a $2 cup didn’t break! No, it had to be AN ENTIRE FREAKING BATHROOM SINK!!
Tiny little cup:
Big strong sink:
I'm so over the edge, this was my first reaction:

But now reality is sinking in. HA HA HA HA GET IT?!?!?! Sinking in!
I cannot afford a new sink. I could barely afford the freaking toothpaste.
I think Scotty describes my emotional state best:

I need to go lie down for a little while. Maybe when I get up, I will find this was all just a bad dream. Or that Sink Fairies descended while I slept and magically made the whole thing go away. Or that Santa is real. Or.....

I'm sorry this stuff is happening to you. I wish I lived closer...a generic bathroom sink isn't expensive and easy to install. It probably had a weak point that the cup hit just right...
Barbara, how sweet you are!! I know the sink won't be too hard to replace, but it's just another thing I can't afford.
I have a weak point that the cup hit just right. lol
Your kind words mean more than you can know. {{hugs}}
You know that old adage about how God never gives you more than you can handle?
Yep. This is why I don't believe.
On the plus side, sinks are easy. Get a couple of your strong sons to DIY it.
I've asked a friend in the business about if it can be fixed. Probably not but I'm hoping she might find an answer for you.
She's a Jersey girl too.
hugs
Marie,
OMG.
That's all the words I have.
Well, I have finally pulled my head out of the oven, realizing a sink wasn't worth it. I have SOOOO many other things to push me over the edge. lol
Mother: I HATE that saying. Someone said that to me in Bible study after my second shoulder surgery. I nearly ripped her throat out. lol
First of all, I growled, that completely INCORRECT as I have WAY more than I can handle right now. And second of all, God does not "give" this shit to us!!
She was very quiet after that. lol
Pricilla: What can I say? I just love you my friend.
Margaret: (Is this my Margaret or a new Margaret? :) ) Yep, that about captures it. Only I said "OMFG". lol
Thank you everyone!! I really do love you all, with all your wisdom and kindness and concern. You are the BEST!!
I am so sorry to hear, or read, about your sink. You have my kind of luck, if it can go wrong, in a really backwards, messed up kind of way, it will.
I hope the sink ferry comes soon.
HA! not a problem!
Take some tile grout that has adhesive in it and GLUE that puppie back together, chip by chip.
one little peice at a time
and in the meantime, put a plastic trash bag in the sink then place a large mixing bowl to use to wash your face and brush your teeth..
SPIT in the toilet, and empty the mixing bowl into the toilet to generate the manual flush... gotta save water that way
huge hugs my friend.. huge hugs
Jen: I just got a catalog in the mail offering a plaque that says "I see the screw up fairy has been here again". lol I would never tempt fate by purchasing it though.
I think I might have good news to share soon about the sink ferry coming in.
I hope the everything ferry comes in for you, too. xoxo
Debe: Now why didn't I think of that!! (Smacking my head) I got all sorts of upset for nothing. lol
Fortunately, I have other bathrooms for face washing and teeth brushing. But that would be a unique work around.
Thank you for the much needed hugs, my dear friend. xoxo
Marie- I found your blog through She Writes. It's beautiful. I can't wait to read more. I hope you can have your sink fixed quickly. I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one things like this happen to.
