I am feeling almost normal! That cold sure kicked my #@!
Now...... nightdress story......I am lucky I lived to tell this tale. When I get a cold it feels as though my brain becomes full of sludge and I am only operating at half capacity. Staggering around the house like Frankenstein when I wasn't in bed. Well, a day or two into the worst of it, I decided to make a small stir fry to get something more substantial than toast and tea into myself.
I had the stir fry going on the back burner and on the front I had the burner on high for a pot of water for couscous. Needing some spices, I dragged over a chair and stood to rummage in the spice cupboard above the stove. While my head was stuck in the cupboard, I smelled smoke. (Amazing because my nose wasn't working) "That's odd, I thought........" When I looked down I saw were bright flames!!! YIKES! It was me!
I grabbed the material on either side and scrunched it over the flames managing to smother them. The bottom edge of my nightie had been resting on the burner. It was a bit of a wake up call. I couldn't believe I had done something so stupid. I also learned that pajama material burns quickly! Sheesh. Nothing like a hot flash to let you know you are alive:)
