today (again) I forgot to turn the stove off after making breakfast.  didn't even notice the smoke....and it was terrible!  my son informed me.  then when taking cat pictures for the local animal shelter, I needed my flash on, guess who forgot to turn it on and couldn't figure out why the pictures were turning out black?

 maybe I shouldn't cook anymore?  lol  ruined a good spatula too.  (melted)

I hear you, Lady! I can't count how many times I've had issues with stoves.

First, the time I caught my back on fire by leaning up against one that was on....when I was 13.  skull

In recent years, I've become increasingly likely to leave a pan in the oven in the morning and then turn on the oven at night. OOOPS!! Or, leave a burner on like you did. That burning stuff is toxic!

Good for you for working for the animal shelter!  My favorite cause  yeah

Hey don't feel bad...I can't even remember to get dinner started. LOL I forget to take our chicken out of freezer to thaw cause I get easily distracted. This happened to me three times on the same day and well by the time I finally remembered, hubby was already home and there was no time to thaw it. We had sandwiches that night. idea

Fibro fog, drives me nuts!

thanks- I just have to laugh at it. and to be honest, I had two very big days on Friday and Saturday- I work 8-5 as an insurance agent, so worked Frday, then went to take pictures from 6:00 to 8:00 and then proof some of the photos until after 10:00. Saturday I worked outside in my flower bed pulling weeds and planting more flowers for over 3 hours.

Plus the laundrey, proofing more photos, oil change in van, etc....

it was just payback day today I guess. Usually I would be laid up taking pain pills after 2 days like that, but so far, minimal pain- at least nothing that I have had to take anything for. so I am definnitely counting my blessings. And I didn't burn the house down!

I understand yes it should be simple but fibro fog can really mess with our heads. My neighbours are so used to my smoke alarm going off every time I cook that it's the neighbourhood joke. Everyone keeps asking what I burnt, and I say it's just me forgetting to shut off the stove. Lol

I'm in awe, if I could do 2 days in a row like that I would have been in bed all day today!

Well...one night last week I put some chicken in a frying pan then turned the burner next to it on.  That should be obvious, right?  I should have seen the flame with no pan over it?  Uh, no.  I went outside with the dogs...dinner was finally served but only because The Hubby noticed my mistake.  Duh.
