jadesfireSo, did anyone else start the week by trying to kill themselves by smoke inhalation? No? Pbbbbbbt, guys, try to keep up.
Okay, so what really happened is that instead of turning on the hob under my porridge, I turned on the hob under my electronic scales. Normally, I turn on the hob and go away to get dressed, since my porridge is then done by the time I get back. This morning, since the flat was cold, I decided to get dressed in the living room where the heater is. That turned out to be a good decision, because when the scales started to make popping noises, I was right there.
Of course, an even better idea would have been to not melt them in the first place, but hey, you can't have everything.
We're both fine, although I'm a little nauseious from the fumes. Luckily, since I'm married to a chemist, he looked at the glass top of our cooker and said "I'll get a solvent from the lab to get that off." He has his uses ;)
ION, apparently crocheted toys are desirable items, since there's a small bidding war going on over at my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti thread. Slightly more nerver-wrackingly, the bidding for my writing also went up over the weekend. *gulp*
The bidding currently stands at $15 for a blanket/shawl or hat/scarf/mitten set, and an incredible $35 for a crocheted toy set. Both auctions are here.
For my writing, the current price is $20, and the thread is here.
I'm having photo issues, since I'm not used to Flickr yet, but I'll upload some examples of my work as soon as I beat it into submission.
I suppose I should probably do some work before that, though. Hope y'all had a good weekend and good luck with your Mondays!

My weekend was good, although I've hit a 'I suck' wall with my fic-writing. I have until mid-week to stop being rubbish, although if I want you or anyone else to beta, realistically I have until tomorrow /o\ Perhaps a shower will help...

You're one of the few people I know who can do properly sweet and punchy without tripping into saccharine and emo. *makes encouraging noises* I'm around until 2.30ish, then here on and off from then. Let me know if you need me!
