BURNING MY CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS

"SLOW down, you move too fast, you've got to make the morning last"  (oldie but goodie)

I had an important meeting today. I also had trouble sleeping last night, probably knowing that I had the meeting scheduled. I slept for a bit and then my feet hit the floor and I found myself moving at rapid pace.   HURRY, HURRY! I ran upstairs checked the dog, gave him his meds, ran into my upstairs bathroom and started washing my hair. After washing my face I tossed my my washcloth into the bathtub; where I had enjoyed a delightful candlelit leisurely bubble bath last night.  Then I saw another washcloth and tossed it over towards the bath. I didn't quit make it into the tub, but that was ok, I was in a hurry. All of the sudden I smelled a smell that I hadn't smelled in awhile.  I walked over, picked up the washcloth that had no made it into the bathtub, and found it was smoking and dark brown..............."holy sh*t, BATMAN, we have a fire!"   Seems like I didn't blow out one of the candles next to my bathtub last night.    WHOOPS!     Now you know why the small print reads, "never leave a candle burning unattended"     

THANK GOD, he watches out for children, old men and fools!
