15 Fructidor CCXI (September 1, 2003)
Smoke. Acrid. Burning Eyes. Smoke. Pain.
Note to self: No matter how addled my brain may be, I will never again accidently turn the heat up to high while there is a frying pan full of oil on the stove.
Luckily I had a box of baking soda handy. Now I just have to live with all my clothes smelling of smoke until I can get them through the wash, something I had just finished doing yesterday morning.
Update - 22:25: With all my windows open and all my fans going, the air is now looking somewhat clearer. Still stinks though.
Update - Wed. Morning I can now plug the smoke alarm back in without it going crazy. I also bought some air fresheners and it now smells of air freshener and… *sniff* *sniff* What's that smell? I do believe it's smoke.
Yet another update -Wed. Evening I just finished checking the frying pan after I cleaned it again. Seems the fire took the teflon off parts of it and has left the rest with a lovely black coating that refuses to come off. I just love spending money when I didn't want to…
