WHY I STARTED TO BLOG ON COIL (6 min read)

Well this is a pretty easy answer, you see I was always great at writing. My love for books and reading spawned at an early age. My mom would read to me daily and always encouraged me to write, I picked it up very fast. I would read them and smile. My English teacher would always use my assignments as a lesson to the class. I mean after all, I published my first book when I was 25 ...

Ok I can’t hold it in any longer ...

None of that is true. Well one thing I guess, my English teacher would use my assignments as lessons.... lessons on not what to do ! Also, well yes my mom did encourage me to read and write but I was horrible at it.

So what made me deside to write blogs? I’m not to sure? I really felt an urge to blog. I read all the coil posts from a lot of you and really enjoyed it, I felt better after reading them. So I pondered if I would receive the same benefit from my own writing ?

“ But I can’t write and besides who would want to read my blogs anyway?”

Well let me tell you, I enjoy it right down to my soul. I find it very therapeutic to talk about past life experiences and present day experiences as well. I wrote about my new found blogging passion in A MAN POSSESSED. Still I look back and can’t believe that I’m writing. This passion burns me to my soul, you know what else burns? Boiling hot water ...

It was a blistering hot Friday night and lee was working later, so I fed the kids. ”humm? What should I get? Ahh HA! McDonald’s” I shout inside my mind! I really didn’t want it so I was going to make perogies when I got home. We were going to watch a guys movie that night, war of the worlds, with Tom Cruise. We always try and watch the action guy movies with out the momma, it just ain’t her cup of tea. And Tom Cruise really ain’t her bag, she can’t stand him ! Boys ate and went up stairs for a bit to have a NHL battle on PlayStation. I fill a pot with water, little dash of salt. I turn the gas knob to light, click ..... click .... click ... turn to medium and I wait.

Perfect, the pot is boiling , I place in 6 perogies and pause. “Is six enough” I asked my self? Of course my little devil on my shoulder said “ have more than that, your a big guy, you have worked hard” so I graciously agree and put in 6 more. 12 little perogies boiling in a pot, I love frying them in butter and onions ...

Perogies are done, I go to grab the pot and move it to the sink so I can start the frying process. While I’m moving the pot, the three feet distance to from the stove to the sink, the handle breaks. Boiling hot water, goes all over my toes. Oh my god, I’ve cut a finger off and it didn’t hurt half this much. The pain was excruciating, wow and this was just my toes. Griff heard me scream and swear, comes running down “what happened? You ok ?” He says. I explain what happened and Griff can’t stop laughing, he gets this from his mother. I’m not sure if it’s a nervous laugh or what but they both laugh at the strangest things. I was in the worst pain of my life and he’s laughing ? I sit down and take my sock off ... I’m not sure what’s grosser? My feet or the burn 😂

I go to the hospital to get checked and they were glad I did. Burns I guess can be very bad. They are easily infected and blood poisoning is a big concern. So I had to go back every day for 7 days for IV antibiotics and a dressing change.

They drew a line on my foot to watch the infection and see if it was getting worse. Thankfully it never did.

It took about 17 days to heal to the last picture. I could not believe how much it hurt. I said to the nurse “what do burn victims do ? This was unbearable” she paused and said “oh yes burns are some of the worse pain, normally burns victims are put into a medically induced coma untill pain gets bearable again”

OH I CAN SEE IT !

I guess the moral of the story is, blogging is like cooking perogies. You have the potential to get burned or hurt, but the reward is just so delicious... be careful cooking !
