Pain in the Glass

Today I decided it would be good to deep clean the fridge. At one point I pulled the glass sheet out of the bottom and carefully scrubbed it at the sink. Clean as new, virtually radiating sanitizedness and sparkling, the sheet was a beauty to behold. Until it slipped from my wet fingers. Elyena said it sounded like someone dropped a jar of beans on the floor. Shrapnel struck my thumb, practically severing it. Glass tinkled to rest all throughout the kitchen and dining room. It was inconcievable the area that glass shards were able to cover. Thank goodness for shop vacs. Merry Christmas everyone.

The shop vac is a wonderful invention. Almost as awesome as band-aids. And stitches for repairing nearly severed thumbs.

Maybe even better: with a shop vac, you could vacuum up band-aids, loose stitches, shards of glass, blood, AND even a severed thumb, if necessary.

Merry Christmas!
