Nothing like a warm, crackling heater in the winter
Well, I just got reassured that God is out there.
Stepped out of the shower and noticed a burning smell and an ominious glow coming from my space heater. I turned it off. The light didn't go off. I unplugged it. The light didn't go off. I realized that the light wasn't on, the heater was on fire.
I yelled to my sister that my heater was on fire and we needed to get it on the porch and turn the water hose on it. She ran and got the fire extinguisher. But I had already taken it out my patio door and put it on the porch.
So there I was, at nearly 4 in the morning, on my back porch, holding a towel around my still wet self, spraying water into my crackling heater. Excellent.
All I can say is THANK GOD! If that had happened while I was asleep or out of the room...... I don't even want to think about anything like that happening to my sister or me. SHIT!
In brighter news, I gave the kitchen a really good cleaning today. Got all of the dishes done, cabinets clean, the fridge clean out, and the trash taken out. I even straightened up the living room and got the floor vacuumed.
Did you know that beef jerky could mold? Learn new things every day.
I did miss out on going bowling with my co-workers, but when I have cleaning momentum going, I have to keep at it or it can die in about 3 minutes.
