Suckiest Sunday ever

Previously, my plans for Sunday had been to hang out with my brother and family, and our visiting cousin. But I had called Saturday night to say that I HAD to steam clean our carpets, and that I'd be late to join them because on Friday night, while we were out at friends' for dinner, I had left a boiling pot of water with the plastic part of my breast pump that I have to sanitize. I left it on the stove for hours. Our housemates discovered the black molten-like long-melted plastic in the pot, and a layer of black smoke throughout our floor of the house. I was and am horrified at what I did. I am very aware of how freaking lucky we are that we didn't come home to a burned down house, and that my cats didn't suffocate from the smoke. When Dav and I came home Friday at 1am, the house was freezing cold because ALL the windows were wide open. And it stank soooooooooooooooooooo bad.

All Saturday too we kept the windows open and I set about to wash every curtain and anything else that could smell. Then we went out to visit Thelonious, and stayed out for dinner too in order to stay away from the house as much as we could. It still smelled A LOT that night, and I was determined to clean the carpets Sunday morning.

Even though I woke up puking green muck on Sunday, I figured it would subside in a couple of hours. So I ignored how I was feeling and went to rent a carpet steamer from Safeway. Once home though, the stupid machine didn't work! I practically cried as I didn't have the energy to go back and get another. Luckily, my super-hero husband got his tools out and fixed the thing. Man, Safeway should pay us, and not charge me. By the time it was fixed, however, I was full-blown sick. I huddled in bed, while Dav saved the day by doing all the work. He also took care of Tesla as most times I could barely do so. Needless to say, I couldn't meet up with my cousin.

Today, Monday, I'm still recovering but am a lot better. However, Tesla's nanny grandmother is sick, so I'm at home today. And now Dav is feeling worse, so I want to take care of him. Throughout all this, Tesla is perky as ever. Caring for a baby when you feel sick SUCKS. Got to get my flu shot asap.
