I just burned out our immersion blender while whipping garlic butter, in an attempt to make something to cheer me up. So much for THAT plan.

The blender was old, and I was already suspecting it was a bit wonky, because of how our coffee grinder reacts to us using the blender on the same outlet. However today was NOT a good day to have it die.

I think I'm just going to give up on trying to do anything at all today. I had plans to get stuff done overnight, but I think I'm just going to go hide instead.

Blurgh, I'm sorry :(

Stupid immersion blender!

Now I want some garlic butter ... and I've never even had an immersion blender. ;)

Not a good 24 hours for you

Sorry to hear about your travails with objects around you. First your chair and now the blender.

Perhaps you should have titled your post: Buttered and battered.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Yeah, the kind of day when even the Star Trek re-run you turn on because it's comforting is pre-empted by a golf game and your wine corkscrew breaks when you try to get yourself a glass. Those days are awful. Hugs.

I nearly commented yesterday when it was only two strikes against (the power supply and the chair) but I was waiting for the final mini-disaster. And now it has happened.

Therefore, you may not have ANY more things breaking under/over/around you for the rest of the year. ::wibbles:: I hope.

I think hiding is an excellent choice for today. I feel like doing it, too. Except for the fact that I'm running out of necessities, am hosting Brian and the patio furniture needs to be brought indoors. Eek!

Sympathetic hugs,
H.
