Crippled

Yes, I am crippled now, in part because of my own stupidity. Story: so, we are sitting at dinner tonight (salad with homemade mayonaise, jumbalya, bread, and yogurt) and while everyone else was dishing out the salad, I went for the jumbalya right away only to find that the pan's handle (which had just emerged from the oven) was scalding hot. I burned myself very badly in very little time. IT REALLY HURT. A LOT. AND STILL DOES. I ran outside to run my hand under cold water and it stung so bad that I had to stop. I went back inside to start eating when Wheaty said that I should keep it compressed with something cold, so I held the sangria jug while Babe went to get some burn cream. I am telling you, it is really bad. Imagine grabbing the handle to a pan and that is where my burn extends. It will surely bubble, but hopefully not much because I have slathered really good cream on it and it's heavily wrapped in gauze. (Therefore, typing this is a bit difficult.) So, there. My pity story.
