I will be OK.

Rik arrives in around twelve hours on a flight from Seattle and will be here for a week. I was up stupid late last night anyway; this will be fine. Because RIK. <3

The electrician says there's no electrical damage and the way I handled it probably prevented it from being a lot worse. EDIT: The power is fine! And the stove even still powers on! Although the control buttons are... not super responsive and kinda melted and it should probably still be replaced.

I think this is a good time to take a walk and get lunch, which will cross off two more items on my emergency today tasklist. Then uh maybe it's OK to play Pokemon for an hour or two before I move on to the next task.

*hugs hugs* I am glad to hear all of this.

*hugs* I'm glad to hear this turned out to be less severe than it seemed! Also, it sounded like you kept your cool remarkably well during the several minutes it really mattered. I wish you good luck in handling all that remains.

Haha, not even kitchen fires can be allowed to get in the way of the great work of catching 'em all!

Raxvulpix used Circuit Breaker! It's super effective! The housemate's Oilfire fainted!

I would say that adding Pokemon to your task list would be a completely supported action. Video games are not without value for stress reduction, centering, etc. Also, then you can cross off three things.

I'm glad you're okay :O

I do find it really amusing that Rik is effectively an Esper with the power, "Make it better". He's like Kirin except not actually that kind of animal.

"Rik and Krinn are different types of animal, yes." ;)

Meh. I knew I should have gone with Phoenix. :p

Krinns are nice (mostly). Kirins are ... unreliable (http://speakwithmonsters.badgods.com/comics/ki-rin).

Hooray for things not being horribly fucked, and hooray for your clearheadedness in a crisis! But, yeah, you should probably replace the stove.

Glad that return-to-normality appears to be proceeding. Pokemon is definitely an aspect of normality (for you, anyways).

Enjoy the coyote loan!

Hey, I'm glad to hear about that part of the situation. ♥ Have fun with your coyote-loan from the Seattleites. :3

Wow. I'm glad you and your roommates and pets are OK.

So what's the current status of your cooking equipment? Do you still need more rice cooker recipes, or have you managed to get anything else going?
