How’s your day going?

[thewesterberg]

Yours is going good? Awesome! And mine? Well, glad you asked…

I was knitting this morning before work when I looked at the dog and decided I needed to be responsible and trim his nails. He cooperates well if you put a blob of peanut butter on the kitchen floor so I did that and sat down next to him and started trimming his nails. He has a couple nails that are dark and on one I cut a little too high - and then I noticed blood on the floor. Crap.

I jumped up to grab some cornstarch to put on it. In the process of grabbing it from the top shelf, I bumped a mason jar of homemade “Shake n Bake”. It fell, hitting the glass stove top and the jar smashed into a million pieces. Being careful where I stepped with my bare feet, I ignored that mess to put some cornstarch in a plastic bowl. I set it on the floor and while in the process of sitting on the floor and holding the dog, I bumped the bowl and it tipped over, sending cornstarch everywhere. I got the dog’s nail to stop bleeding, finishing trimming his nails, and gathering up the courage to clean…

…Peanut Butter
…Blood
…Cornstarch
…Glass
….Shake n Bake

Off my kitchen floor.

I didn’t cry. I only swore once. And I laughed at the ridiculousness of the whole situation while I swept and cleaned and mopped.

I think I just need to hide on the couch under quilts the rest of the day and not touch anything.

Sounds like you've had a day-and-a-half! Definitely snuggle up with your quilts and a good book or movie- you deserve it!

Holy Moly….that’s a lot going on
Glad you didn’t cut your feet with the broken glass

My day is average - nothing special

Hopefully the rest of you day is uneventful! Glad you and the dog avoided any glass shards.

Hey, on the bright side at least it didn't crack the stovetop too. Sounds like a tough morning!

I was going to say the same thing. I've had the misfortune of breaking 2 of them with a bottle of Pam.

Hope your day gets better!

[BlueStarryHat]

Wow! I probably would have cleaned up and then gone back to bed.

Day's going fine. I was in the finished basement all afternoon working on a new Barbie customization.

 

[a1tinkfans]

Slow day..
Woke with a bad headache.. drank water n grabbed some pain meds n out the door to walk.
returned and felt OK. Within2 hours headache returned and Oh my the sinus pressure.. and just feel so “ off”. but no runny nose,allergies? Ate a light bkfst meal n More water, took a zinc and then grabbed an OTC for sinus.
I feel like the headache is just waiting to pounce but the meds are keeping it at bay
Needless to say, have done nothing today n staying in, except for resting in the sun a bit.
ready for tomorrow, lol

If you're a person like me who takes comfort from "well, it could have been worse"...let's all cheer that the jar didn't break your glass stove top. Yay you!!

As for me; I took my elderly, chronic-alcoholic sister to an in-patient detox/rehab facility today. It was hard and this has been a very trying time. But...what would have been worse is if she hadn't gone. This is a very big day for our entire family.

I did go to work after all that but came home at lunch time and took a nap… the rest of the day continued without any more drama!

Holy Moly….that’s a lot going on

. Me too! I’m amazed I didn’t injure myself!

I thought the same thing! Dodged a bullet!

Hope your day gets better!

The rest of the day was uneventful… whew!!!

Thank you!!

Day's going fine. I was in the finished basement all afternoon working on a new Barbie customization.

I seriously considered doing that! I did come home for lunch and took a nap to “reset”. Barbie customization? That sounds interesting! What sort of thing to do you?

I was laughing my butt off while I cleaned up. The whole thing was so ridiculous…

Wishing your sister the best as she enters rehab as well your whole family. Family systems are tough things.

Awww...sorry. Hope today goes better.

Reminds me of when I decided to make beer can chicken on the grill. Fell over, the beer ignited, and it turned the chicken into a big flame ball. Then I made a nectarine galette. Found out waxed paper and parchment paper aren't interchangeable. Waxed paper ignites. Finished the day by exploding a spaghetti squash in the microwave. Looked like brain matter everywhere - Veggie Tales from the Crypt. Pizza for dinner that night.

Hang in there.

Hope today is way better!

I re-root the hair with a different color most of the time. I take off the face paint and repaint the face, and I make a new outfit for her. I generally get older Barbies from flea markets and such. The one I'm working on now I got at Goodwill. Some kid in the past had chopped her hair into a sort of lopsided bob, so it had to come out anyway. Right now I'm turning her into a glorious redhead.

I saw a thing once where an ultra-religious lady collected old Bratz dolls and re-did them to look "fresh and wholesome" without their trampy make-up and then dressed them in modest clothes. It was wild watching her erase their faces with paint thinner. Not implying you're a nutter like this of course. She actually thought she was saving them from a life of dissipation and setting them on the right path. Just one step down from those creepy new-born or re-born baby dolls.

My best day recently: I left work early because I felt sick, got home and went straight to bed to try and sleep it off. My dog was not a fan of this and jumped up on the bed and whacked me in the face with her paws. Then I smelled the poop - she'd stepped in some outside. I had to clean my head, the bed clothes, and the dog's feet, then search the house to see if there was a mess anywhere else. Luckily there was no visible poo tracked around, there was enough on her feet to smell but nothing actually visible to the eye.

Oh no! When all you want to do is curl up in a ball and sleep and then you’re on poop patrol! The smell of poop is the worst thing because it pretty much smells the same if there’s a trace or a big ol’ pile of it!

That is so cool! What neat art!
