Ouch!!

I reheated my chicken strips in the microwave last night and when I grabbed the container the steam burnt me. I've never been burned by steam before. Grease jumping out of a skillet, yes. Windshield de-icer, yes (and it took almost a year for my finger to feel normal again). But never steam. My thumb is all pink now and still hurts a little and really aches when anything touches it. I keep running cold water and hold an ice cube in a rag to it to calm it. Aspirin doesn't work. I know, Aloe vera for burns. Anyhow, I'm getting Precious all excited with visitors knocking on the door and Frodo jumps on top of the cupboards in fear. I got my director's chair for outdoor shoots. It came assembly required. Wish me luck. Post later.
