I could peel the night from the muscle of the sky

So I have had a wonderful de-mothing day full of triage and cleaning and stress and laundry and grief and I went to reheat a brownie so that I could pour some cream on it and eat it hot as I have done with many brownies before, only this time it caught fire in the toaster oven and filled the kitchen with smoke and had to be extinguished under the kitchen tap before I could even throw it out and I smell like smoke and the kitchen smells like smoke and Autolycus smells like smoke and Hestia is in hiding and at this point I'm just pretty sure today sucks.

I'm so sorry. *support support*

I don't know what it is about today. Not as awful as your experience, but the entire box of Melba toasts that Joe had bought was bad from the moment he opened it to snack, and he burned the popcorn in the microwave right after that...

I am so sorry. I hope tomorrow makes up for today :-/

Some days really pick up a kind of momentum of suckiness :-|

Sorry today was one such.

[umadoshi]

That sounds horrendous. ;_; I'm sorry it was such a dreadful day.

Oh, boo. What a sad thing to happen to a brownie! I hope you had another one, and the cats forgive you.

It was the last brownie in the house!

Damn. Who do I call for a replacement universe?

I hope the next six months are better. You deserve it.

Much sympathy,

Nine

Oh, no! That is a terrible turn of events.

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, sorry. Here's hoping today is better, then! :-/

[shewhomust]

Oh, no! Burnt chocolate is particularly horrible!

[alatefeline]

I'm so sorry. Some days are like that.
And it sucks!!! *insert sympathetic screaming here*

I hope today is better.

[gwynnega]

That all sounds thoroughly awful. I hope today is better.

If you would like 3 am toast, Child is into 3 am toast parties and defaults to light golden, as opposed to on fire. She can also make you brownies, but from a mix.

[owl]

Oh no! What a sad end to a brownie.

I keep meaning to tell you that there is a winery not that far from me that is called Hestia Cellars. Ideally you would order some just so Hestia could sit in the box with this logo: http://doubleknotcreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Work_HestiaCellars_05.png

This morning Max Gladstone tweeted about getting rid of moths by having somebody else eat them, and my friend farwing retweeted it, in agreement.
