It does find me with a burn on my left hand.
Instead of setting the microwave time for 2 minutes, I accidentally hit 4 minutes and only realized that was the case when I came back into the kitchen wondering why the wax wasn't finished heating up. The sensible among you would have been careful with the wax, realizing that by now it is incredibly hot. But I am not sensible and while removing the wax from the microwave, I managed to spill liquid wax all over my left hand. The searing pain of that moment was only briefly offset by the realization that now I would have to find a way to remove wickedly hot wax from my skin. I contemplated the ways and means of that task while holding my burned hand under the cold water and castigating myself for my incredible stupidity.

Once the wax was cooled, most of it could be pealed off with the help of some warm oil. Much of my original skin remains. The same cannot be said for my dignity. Sometimes it's a wonder I've kept myself alive for 45 whole years.

Please take care of that burn.
My friend owns a salon and charges me $8 to wax my eyebrows. Since Colby has been unemployed, I thought about waxing them myself.
Nevermind.
