I keep a filtered water pitcher in the fridge, because no one likes the taste of the local water. I've had the pitcher for almost 4 years. I am the only one who ever refills it from the tap. DH never refills it, ever. Visiting assorted adult children never refill it, ever.
This morning I left early to get a blood test, leaving DH to make coffee himself. I found a nearly dry water pitcher when I came home. The filter in the pitcher isn't supposed to dry out.
I am waiting to mention it to him until I can force myself to not sound like a nag.
But water in a pitcher is a finite thing. It has to be replenished. Why is that so hard to grasp? (Rhetorical question.)
OMG, so the week before last, I dropped my filter pitcher. And those little mini plastic hinges and so on broke so I had to get a replacement pitcher. One of my favorite features was the lid, it was setup so the opening didn't require you to open it to fill it. The pressure of the water pushed it down, and when your reservoir was full, it then closed up.
So I bought a new pitcher, and they changed the design. Now I have to lift up the little flap. After 4+ years of that other design, I have muscle memory and I keep spilling water on my counter because I forget to lift the flap!
OK today I too had to go shopping - and was overwhelmed by choices. Who knew there were so many styles of shorts? Because you see, gone are the days when I can look good in a pair of cutoffs - no, I have to actually shop for my shorts now - and some of 'em ain't so purty.
It really sucks to buy something that you know you just aren't going to look good in. But this is Texas - if I don't wear shorts, I may just fall out from the heat, and that would be even less attractive than me in shorts, if such a thing is even possible.

Dresses!
Although I bought my first pair of shorts over the weekend! I plan to wear them this weekend. It won't be that warm, but I am still going for it on a night out.
They think it refills by magic. Isn't that how glasses get washed and how the toilet paper and paper towel rolls get changed too? How the junk mail gets thrown away, how the bathrooms get cleaned, how the Brita pitcher gets refilled, and how the filter in the pitcher gets replaced, etc. It's all done by magic elves.
An example of magical thinking?
It sounds as if you've experienced this sort of thing too.
My hotel has bikes you can borrow so I decided to pedal over to my lunch date! Bad news: they have the worst lock known to man. It is like the $10 lock from Walmart. Hope nobody tries to steal it.
