I'm just so bummed that I did that! I carefully noted which knob NOT to set on medium high. Went through the drill in my head - never put pyrex on a burner. Then promptly reached over and turned that one on under my favorite baking dish. DUH!! !! !!
On the good side, if I'd not gotten distracted by the TV, I was about to get up and go in and get the tea and mugs out. I'd have been in there. Then I'd had to have cleaned up underwear as well!

I used to drive for threequarters of an hour for 3 days a week. (ahem ... and over an hour 2 days a week) I used to do pelvic floor exercises on those drives! Soon you won't even notice the distance. You're in your own private space for that length of time.

Really, 45 minute commute is not bad. You'll have time to sort out all your thoughts for the day going in, and decompress on the way out.

I have never been tested for dyslexia but wonder if I have a "form" of it......one that involves something similar to the "exploding glass incident"......many times I have looked at something and said....."I need to turn this on and not that,thought that I had made that agreement with my body and found my body doing the opposite......I think it is crossed wires,(the psychs tried to convince me it was either unconscious self defeating behavior..ie...I think of myself as a failure,so do things to prove it.... 
)My mother would chalk it up to being "careless".....but the truth is I cared "more" not "less",as disappointing her and myself was aversion enough to not want to make any mistakes.
The incident with the cat has made me think a lot about this recently.To make sure that I am locking the doors properly,I am depending on my OCD tendencies(making lemonade).Whenever I close the doors,I watch my hands and the door latch.I watch my hand instead of relying on the "sound" of the latch and the "feel" of it catching.After practicng with the doors...I realized that it can sound like the latch has engaged and feel like it is fully down but the "catch" does not always engage.(I had complained about this when we firsst opened but nothing was ever done about it,and this particular door had never stuck before.)Point being...I think the eyes give back more reliable feedback to my brain that my body cant ignore...as it does when I just "think it" to do what I ask it to.
The cat died.No one is being given any consequences for this "incident".The manager told me that it had a broken leg from the fall but it turn out that it didnt.It had had several strokes(they believe over the past several days...probably why it hadnt landed on it's feet).They believe the stroke that made it lose mobility was the day after the fall from the cage(which I am sure didnt help the situation.)What upsets me is that the cat was there in the first place,given it's medical history and the fact that it was constantly hissing and attacking when we tried to feed or change it's litter...stressful for it and us.It was there for over 10 days of this,no medication for it's anxiety and NO ONE told us that it had a history of strokes!!!The whole think seems very "unprofessional".When I read over the incident report,no mention was made of it's behavior before the fall(lathargic,stopped hissing and attacking)or the fall itself....not a word.They covered my ass to cover their own.
Lemon,congratulations on the new job.It sounds wonderful.I think one advantage of being an "artist",is that people actually expect you to be a bit "eccentric".
Rathermousie....the memory thing is very disturbing.It has happened to me my whole life,so I know it's not "alzheimer's".I used to think my mother was trying to drive me insane by saying I hadnt told her things(that I knew I had)or things she said that she had told me...that I knew she hadn't.I still dont understand how this can happen but I do think it might have something to do with AS.

Hello to all!
Well Lemon, you see? No need for worry! Congratulations!
Hope your job is very fulfilling and enjoyable! And makes you rich in 3 months! And you can retire in 5! 
Happy belated to lil' girl!! ! Seven - and already a pirate! See how easy it was for her to choose a career Lauri? So what's up? Huh? Huh? Why can't you decide? Pirate not good enough for you, eh? (Plundering might be fun! And you could wear eye patches and stuff! And terrorize villagers!
Naaaa... sounds too much like being a pharmacist). Good luck with decision-making process! (Liquor always helps. And a spinning dart board marked with all your choices. So I've heard.)
Nan, sorry you blowed up your claymore stuffing (in the container which can't be named on account of Postie going postal if he hears it...) and are holed up in a paint fume chamber...(maybe it's retaliation for the heart attack you caused in your next door neighbor with your explosion?)
Gromit's capsaicin peppers will clear your sinuses SleepyDragon!
rathermousie - don't be concerned about forgetting things. In twenty years you won't remember that this ever concerned you.
Happy springtime Southern Hemisphererses esses peoples! (Postie developed an anti-pollen-izer, which he may be willing to trade for exclusive African/ Australian anthropology digging rights. You may reach him thru his distinguished attorneys: Merle, Lemon, Lau, (Esq.)
Good to see everyone having fun! Hope you are all doing well. Good night to all!

Hah. It was revenge. Unintentional, subconscious revenge! Except that I'm the one picking the microscopic glass shards out of my feet this morning.
And today is our emergency "active shooter scenario" thingy, too. We all have our little cell phones on, so they can send their practice emergency test message out to us. And we're all given instructions to not freak when we hear fake gun fire and see the swat team swarming.
I still put money on their being some poor, elderly alum coming on campus in her walker, going over to the library to do her latest little bit of research on something like monarch butterflies who's going to walk into the middle of it completely unawares and just drop like a stone. Will be interesting to see how the PR guys handle THAT one.
