Odd sort of heartburn this, swallowing a mouthful of water that just moments ago was heated to a point of scalding.
You know scalding, when water has just begun to form bubbles around the edges of the pot you've boiled water in. Right, so exactly that except it was heated in an electric kettle.
I poured it into my much used water drinking mug and a few seconds later in a fit of amnesia drank a big gulp from the said mug, thus instantly boiling my throat and as it swiftly hit the gullet it continued to blanch all and every part of my esophagus .Fraction of a second later I felt like my heart was poached.
What kind of idiotic thing to do?
This sort of absent mindedness will kill me someday. I think I've inherited this from my father.
Though I'm not particularly absent minded, usually living in the now and mostly observant of my surroundings there have been moments of lapse. And this is one of them.
This kind of crap is what might be the end of me.
One moment I'm tinkering with a lever and the next thing I know I've crashed into a passing asteroid.
No no no. Must keep a more strenuous check.
I'll have to be those samurais in training who got constantly attacked by their masters while they slept. To learn the art of being aware at all times and master their surroundings.
Something to that effect.
