This spider was in my sink.
https://bugguide.net/node/view/26206 It’s a sac spider in genus Trachelas. There are a few different species in the genus in New Mexico, I don’t know which it is. The link leads to range info. If you zoom your photo you can see the 2 curved lines of 4 eyes each across the spider’s face. It’s a spider that chases prey in low light. I usually find them near the moist stone foundation of my house. I don’t know if i was in your sink to drink water droplets or if the faint smell of water smells like “home.”
