I almost burned my house down today

This morning at 8 am I brewed coffee the old fashioned way, in a pot. I was very tired. When I was done I got ready for school, packed lunch, packed my paints, got my canvasses, ate breakfast and brushed my teeth.

Tonight I came in my door at 7:30. I smelled a faintly burnt smell.

On my stove was a pot of charred coffee grounds letting off thin smoke, and a burner, still chugging away on low.

DON'T DO THIS!

It prompted my to get reverse-hiccups. This is when you get air bubbles trapped in your lungs that won't come out. It sucks.

Oh, and I also could've burned my house down.
