Doing Two Things At Once

Sometimes doing two things at once is relatively simple. Here are a few examples of things I do at once on a regular basis: talking on the phone while making dinner, watching television while folding clothes, listening to a book on tape while painting, etc.

But there are other things that I would be embarassed to admit to, like something I tried today for example. Randy and I had a "date" so I was actually fixing my hair in some other way than a pony tail but I really had to pee. When I pee it is usually a long one, with spurts and because I have to take a diuretic I go quite often.

So my curling iron was hot and sitting on the counter and I looked at it and thought, "Oh yeah, I'll curl my hair while I sit here." That is what I did but somehow the curling iron slipped out of my hand and landed on my leg. Yes, very hot, and I now have a burn but wasn't about to tell anyone :) so I put that silver stuff on me and I cannot feel it at all now.

Can you imagine if I went into the e.r. and said, "I burned my leg on my curling iron." The doctor: "How did you burn your LEG?" "Well, I was peeing...." Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
