The stench of burning flesh!

This morning started like any other morning. Got up, let the dogs out, showered, and was going to get ready to go to work! After I get out of the shower, I dry off and realize I had washed my robe and it's hanging in the closet. So I take like 2 steps out of the bathroom and towards my bedroom closet and trip on a shoe. Now...if you haven't been to my house...I moved my bedroom to the basement because it's a much larger room. The heat/AC vent is right above the bed and there is a wall heater in that room as well. I thought this could reduce my heating bill quite a bit, as I wouldn't have to have the central heat on as high.

So anyway, back to the story. As I'm walking to get my robe, I trip on a frickin shoe...and fall backwards...with my ass landing smack dab on the running wall heater...or should I say SCORCHING wall heater! I'm sure it was only seconds...but it seemed like a very delayed reaction and that my ass was really sizzling for hours! My dogs were running in mad circles around me as I was screaming like a maniac!

I've been laying on my couch now for about 15 minutes with ice on my butt!! ha I don't think it's helping. Maybe I should run out to my backyard and stick my butt in the snow?! I looked in the mirror to see if there were any gridmarks from the heater, but there weren't...so that's a bonus I suppose. It's high enough up that I can sit and it's okay. But seriously...have any of you noticed that totally random and stupid shit like this only happens to me? I mean...who else do you know that would try to fry their own ass up like meat on a grill?! I'm sorry. I really don't want you to try to envision the whole episode...but my ass HURTS! I think it's definitely gonna blister and make clothing a not fun experience for a few days. Oh, and if there was a smell to the burning flesh...it didn't phase me..as I think the only sensory reaction going on at this point is PAIN! Anyway...didn't need the robe afterall. Got warmed up pretty quick!

Hope your morning is going better than mine. I guess I should try and get dressed and off to work. Pray for me!
