Hand towels are apparently NOT microwaveable.

I hope those fumes are noxious in any way, because I got a good lungful as I was trying to get the smoldering towel out onto the porch so I could pour water on it and put out the embers...

Reason for doing this:

One of my lower back muscles decided to, I don't know...cramp up or something, this morning. I don't know what it did, but it HURTS. I'm waiting for a Lortab to kick in right now, but in the meantime, I wanted some heat to put on it. Not particularly wanting to splut a washcloth on my back (heated in warm water), I decided to heat up a towel instead. Figuring the dryer would take too long, I popped it in the microwave for a faster heating. I caught a whiff of something that smelled funny as I was getting my drink to wash my Lortab down with, so I went to go see what it was.
Imagine my surprise when I saw scorch marks on the towel.

The towel now lies damp and burnt on the porch, and I've got the door open/fans going to try and air out this place... and my back still hurts. Going to probably have to heat up a washcloth or something, becuase I really really really want a few more frickin' hours of sleep before class tonight.

Oh yeah, just how I wanted to spend *my* day...

I just missed class entirely today. Go me~ Three classes into the semster and I'm already skipping out of them. ~_~ No, no - I didn't miss class because I chose to (this time), I missed it because I was at teh doctor's all afternoon. >_<

After finishing at the doc's, mom brought me home so I could pick up Fern and head back to the apartment. I'm now stuck drinking cranberry juice and water until my infection clears up, and when I go back on Thursday, they'll see what is to be done about my plumbing and if there is anything I need to do RIGHT AWAY, or not.
Definitely not my choice on how to spend my day, and my apartment still smells like burnt towel ~!!!!, >.< Though I admit that that was my fault, I still wish it'd go away, ¬_¬ Stupid smoke....

So yeah... that's what has happened so far today. I'm hoping I can just curl up and draw/read/play video games for the rest of the evening before class tomorrow afternoon. I'm gonna go get a shower and pj's on now...
