So today was Christmas. I think everyone who knows me, knows that Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the songs, the lights, giving gifts, and the religion of it all (not in that order). Unfortunately, I am already feeling a little sad that it will be over tomorrow. Then we have to move into one of my most dreaded times of year - Valentine's Day. I'm not going to think about that yet though.
Just a while ago, I put some instant macaroni into the microwave. Unfortunately, I forgot to add the water. After a couple of minutes I smell smoke so I go into the kitchen to see smoke pouring out of the microwave. No flames, but still scary. I open the door and a massive cloud come out. I sit there stunned for a moment and then the coughing begins. I quickly open both kitchen windows and turn on the ceiling fan. I open the door. This has probably all taken less than a minute. Then I hear Austin coughing and running into the room. I tell him to get out and he sits there and argues for a few moments. Finally, he leaves. It only took minutes for the visible smoke to clear, but two hours later the smell is still really bad. I put a fan in the window to pull in some fresh air from outside (as the internet instructed). So, I am sitting in thirty some degree weather with the window fan on, freezing my buns off all because I am stupid. I sure hope this isn't how my whole break will go. I am a little afraid to go to sleep because I am worried about Austin breathing in the bad air with his congestion already.
Oh the dumb things we do :(
