Lately I have been feeling like my concentration and memory had been getting worse and worse. And this morning it reached dangerous and could have become life threatening levels.
I was getting a bit hungry and thought "Hey, I'll cook up a packet of noodles". It's a good light snack when you dont have breakfast materials at home. So while that was heating up, I went into the living room, sat down and started to think away on how to continue on with my recent sewing project. I figured out how to proceed and sat down by the sewingmachine, not a single thought about the noodles on the stove. Some time later, 20-30 minutes or so, my project was complete. I tried it on, made sure everything was as supposed to be. Then a thought came to me, "Hmm, I'm a bit hungry. I should do something about it". So I made my way towards the kitchen and when I opened the door from the livingroom, I found a hallway and kitchen covered in thick smoke. And the only thing that went through my head was "Fuck!!!".
Luckily for me it had not gone to the point of any actual fire, so just filling up the pot with water ended the danger. But wow, do I feel like an idiot....and I kinda feel like I don't want to touch the kitchen again for quite some time, cause similar things with the oven and some pizzas at different moments have happened aswell.
