panik | Oh God, it's a disaster...

I tell you. An absolute, bloody disaster.

I'm supposed to be working. I have a book to write, I have a major long chapter all planned out and ready to get on with.But...

I was supposed to go to acupuncture this morning - never made it (again) because Mark, my beloved, has (we think) accidentally ingested a tiny quantity of washing powder. O:!!!! He was really ill last night; terrible stomach pains and diarrhoea. I wanted him to go to A&E but he wouldn't. This morning, he's a lot better, but he still has a sore stomach and loose bowels and is not really over it. My nerves are in shreds, I tell you.

But by ten O clockish, he seemed more or less OK, and is laying on the bed as I write, eating crisps and watching The House Detectives, so, thinking this was a great opportunity to finish this chapter, I powered up the laptop up, fully intending to work and I find - LJ is FULL of new fic, and interesting discussions and meta, and The Eighth Doctor and Fitz..
and I HAVE to tear myself away and GET ON WITH SOME WORK; but how...?

Please. Help. Help me resist the temptations, for they are many.

We had a plumber in for a leak under the sink. He put everything back wrong; I couldn't find anything and had to sort it out - in the process of all this, a few grains of washing powder may have got on to the floor.

I put my slippers to warm on the stove when I went out. I think, maybe some of the hypothetically spilled powder got on to my slippers and then transferred to the stove.

Mark put a washed cup to dry on the stove, then, later, used the cup to drink from, complained the water had a horrible taste, 'like bleach', and threw it away after one mouthful O:

Later on, I noticed a few particles of white powder on the stove and put two and two together.

It just goes to show how nasty common household chemicals are. I mean, he couldn't have had more than a miniscule amount, and I use Ecover, which is supposedly bleach free and etc. It's been a massive worry, but he seems pretty much OK now.

And, yeah, I should be working, but I needed a break! heh heh heh. He seems much better now, thanks.
