oops
so long story short I set my microwave on fire last night and now the whole house stinks like burned electrical plastic
no one is hurt, not even the bird, because my one and only thought was RESCUE BIRD!111 I carried his cage into my room like immediately and then fell over in a puddle of useless.
My thought process was basically
1. realize there is problem
2. MUST RESCUE BIRD!!!
3. !!!
4. ???
5. !?!?!?
6. Wake up mother
7. cry
8. cry more
9. apologize
10. cry
then I laid down all my towels and tried to sleep in my bathroom, since my bedroom is relatively unsmoke-y and was where I'd stashed my bird, and I didn't want to go in there and stink up my mattress. I slept for maybe about 10 minutes.
So, now we have to figure out how to clean the house and we have to buy a new microwave. I've been feeling really useless and stupid lately, and now I feel 1000000% worse. I just made more expenses and work for everyone and almost killed my bird :(
I'm gonna try to nap on the couch and then see how I can help de-stink the house when my mother gets back from buying a microwave. Hopefully when we change the air filters everything will smell a lot better, since sticking my nose directly on the couch cushions and stuff seems to reveal that they don't really smell, but the air does. Seems like baking soda and white vinegar are the internet's main suggestions, so at least that's cheap enough. SIGH. The air conditioning is on and doing its job, as well as all the ceiling fans.
why am I so dangerously useless :(

*hugs you*
What did you do to make it catch fire?

lol well it is funny afterward! Because I'm basically a sim.
I put something in the microwave without water that... you are supposed to put water in. I distinctly remember doing SOMETHING with the sink, which apparently tripped my "you did that step" switch, but what I actually did with the sink, I have no idea.
