Recently, I made steaks for dinner for Natalie and Myself.. BEING Me, when I did so, I basted them with the seasoned butter and drippings (aka reduced fat) and decided it would be a good idea to put the spoon I used to baste them into My mouth, to taste the result, as well as clean the spoon for the next use.. WAY bad juju.. The rendered fat from the steak, on high stove temperature then grabbed hold of the insides of My lips and proceeded to burn them to cinders.. Yesterday, a piece from the inside of My lip was detached that was the equivalent of My index finger nail.. The burns have made it nearly impossible to even swallow, let alone speak with any form of coherence..
Every choice made in life has a consequence.. I accept the consequences of My Own hubris, how can I NOT? Right? I made a choice, it ended FAR worse than expected, and I continue to live with the repercussions.. Such is life.. Yeah? I could go into more graphic detail, but will refrain.. I have been unable to talk in any cohesive fashion and may not be able to do so for several days yet..
Two weeks ago, I made the same mistake, in a different way.. I was peeling a watermelon, and decided pulling the knife TOWARD Me was an 'almost' smart decision.. The knife sliced through the rind, and stopped a quarter inch from severing My left index finger.. (bone sliced, nearly through completely)
The moral.. No matter how skilled you THINK you are, life happens, and cannot be predictable..
