today's lyrics
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky
Summertime (Janis Joplin)
I consider myself to be a fairly capable young adult. I can manage being a full-time student, with two part-time jobs. I can do ANOVA and regression analysis. I can crank out a seven-page paper in approximately three hours. Most of the time, I can even manage to feed myself.
Until today.
Until today, when I tried to heat the "Sippable" version of Campbell's tomato soup.
At first, things went well. I managed to remove the "Sippable" lid from the container. I even managed to remove the potentially fatal metal lid from the container without incident.
But then, I attempted to remove my soup from the microwave without using my hot pads. I should never, never do this again. My pinky accidentally touched the side of the bowl, which caused me to jerk back.
When I jumped back, I managed to spill boiling-hot tomato soup on my hand. All over my hand. I'm surprised the police weren't called to respond to my Irish banshee shrieking.
At this point, I realized that I no longer remember the "Burn Incident" part of the American Red Cross First Aid training. I should probably remedy this.
However, I'm not completely hopeless. At least I had Neosporin in the bathroom cabinet. Which I technically wouldn't have, but my mom bought some for me. So, I guess I've managed to fail, after all.
