Oh, come on!

Just when I thought I was going to get a break from having to spend money on stuff, my microwave bites the dust. Geez. I mean, don't get me wrong: the microwave was given to me by meallanmouse when her appliances got replaced, and it was already a couple of years old by then (I think). It has served me faithfully for seven years, so I can't complain too much.

It's just that the timing is really terrible.

I also replaced the cats' water fountain today, except the new one isn't working the way it should, and I have no time to figure out what I did wrong. At least the cats have fresh water. I also got them a new scratching thing (with catnip! They are all very stoned.) and toys, which they needed to keep them busy.

Gah.

I was going to heat myself a quick lunch, and NOW I CAN'T, so I guess I'll rummage for something else to eat other than the yummy chicken I made the other day. PAH!

Now I am going to take comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the Universe, as per my icon.

Gah. Microwaves. I'm still convinced that they're not the best of appliances, and they're probably the only one I have that I could do without, but they still come in handy.

That said, I probably know some people who have used ones that they're getting rid of. If you're willing to wait a few days, I could ask around.

(Or Craigslist/Freecycle for it. You're likely to get something functional there, given the bit where microwaves tend to be pretty durable and not used as often as we'd think).

Seconding Craigslist/Freecycle. It would have been ideal had it died last month as that's the major moving period, but there are functional appliances being given away even now...

Have you got a decent toaster oven? I find that to be extremely handy, especially the kind you can use with meat. Meatloaf in summer without using the big oven is great.

No, I don't have one of those. It's on my list of things that would be nifty to have but aren't a priority.

Ka-Ching!

Sorry about the death of the nuker, but I'm truly enjoying the image of your stoner cats.

I have bought yarn. Bring needles to teach me things.
