I was busy starting to make soap today when …my scale started to smoke…literally. Then it up and died on me, mid-batch. I’m so upset. It was obviously faulty because it’s relatively new and has only been used a handful of times since I bought it. The model of my scale has a good name and warranty, thankfully, so I’m sending it back to either be repaired (which I highly doubt is possible) or replaced. The frustrating part is that today was the first day I could devote to all-day soap-making. I had planned to make 3 batches because I’m nearly sold out of my soaps – I only have 4 bars left! Plus I was eager to use my new TOG soap molds that arrived yesterday. Go figure! So now I have to wait for another scale to get to me during the seasonal mail rush. Oh. Yay.
The bright side? At least it gives me time to work on some more books.
