I got home early enough for dinner, for once. It was 8:30 and I decided to make spaghetti.<\/p>\n
I put on a pot of water to boil and figured it had been awhile since I changed the bulb in the range hood above the stove, so the minute I flicked on the switch, the bulb went out.\u00a0 Well, you know how there is a white plastic guard over the light bulb there on most of those? \u00a0I knew it was there but I could always reach the bulb underneath.\u00a0 All the other times, I never moved the guard and\u00a0just changed the bulb that way.<\/p>\n
Well, tonight I saw that there was a small place where the guard could be disconnected and hang from a little hinge, while you change a bulb.\u00a0 I grabbed the guard and pulled it from the slot and let the guard drop so that I could change the bulb. It was cool, \u2019cause I always thought that the way I always used to do it was kinda hard.<\/p>\n
When I was done, I snapped the guard back into place and went about my business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t long before I saw them.\u00a0 I thought the stuff floating on the top of the water in the pot was just because perhaps I hadn\u2019t washed it out thoroughly.\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 What I was looking at was the tiny old, dried up carcasses of a few small dead flies and gnats floating at the top of my almost-boiling water in my beloved clean pot!\u00a0 I guess they had been lying in that damned lightbulb guard which I had never flipped back before,<\/p>\n
ISH!<\/p>\n
Ohmygosh, I never scrubbed a pot as hard or for as long!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
