Mental note - passing out whilst on the phone to a telemarketer is an effective, if overly dramatic, way to stop them from bothering you.

Yep, the bath strikes again. I got dragged out to answer the phone, and was in the process of telling the woman on the other end that I was happy with Optus (and naked except for a towel and dripping soap suds besides), when the world went all cold and grey and fuzzy. I woke up half-slumped on the couch, with my towel at half-mast. It took me another ten minutes of lying on the floor to feel up to standing, and an hour and a half on the couch after struggling to get some clothes on. Judging from the pain on the right side of my face, I managed to drive my glasses into my orbital socket when I connected.

*icks* I still feel gross. And the worst thing? If I'd really hurt myself, no-one would have found me until tomorrow. Mum and Dad are on their way back from a funeral, and I'd dropped the phone off the hook when I fainted. Sobering thought.

*nods* To quote an ad on TV, "Yes, I am looking after myself". The water was just a bit too hot, and I rushed out and ran to the phone, which is never a good move after soaking in hot water for three quarters of an hour. Feeling a tad foolish, as I usually do after one of these incidents, but I'm okay.

There are some things that require rushing out of a shower or a bath: earthquakes, hurricanes, a serial killer. . . Phone calls rate low on the grand scale of things. ;) I usually let the answering machine pick it up (saves having to deal with telemarketers, too).

Drink plenty of water, hon. (*hugs*) Good that you're taking care of yourself.
