Burning My Oatmeal

This is the sec­ond time I’ve burned my oat­meal by for­get­ting it was on the stove after being dis­tract­ed by women online. I pro­pose a new euphemism: «burn­ing my oat­meal» for all forms of neglect­ing one’s well-being or any oth­er duties because of fol­low­ing The Impe­ri­ous Urge. As in: «I’m sor­ry, what were you say­ing? I was total­ly burn­ing my oat­meal.» or «There was a board meet­ing today? Oh crap, I guess I real­ly burned the oat­meal this time.»
