Starting the day with a bang

[cimorene]

I started Tuesday off with a bang by bumping into the corner of one of the shelves in the fridge door, upon which it fell off and a bottle of herb vinegar, a bottle of flax seed oil, a jar of coconut oil, and a jar of baking soda all broke and spilled their contents on the kitchen floor.

I used half a roll of paper towels picking up the chunks of glass and herbs and just reaching the center of the oil puddle, although my sheepskin slippers are also liberally doused, on the wool side as well as the leather side. They were getting pretty worn down and Snookums barfed on them two weeks ago, which is pretty good, because that would've been much more upsetting otherwise.

So wiping up the oil, baking soda, and vinegar and then using a dish towel with hot water and dish soap to attempt degreasing also consumed a bunch of time, and my toast was ruined and my breakfast delayed by like fifteen minutes. Luckily my morning routine has minimum half an hour of extra time in it.

Yikes!

Tbh I was a little unhappy with that shelf being lower and a bit... rickety. But I definitely didn't expect this. Seems like decidedly flawed fridge design!!

Oh, no.

Feeling very betrayed. I look for more reliability in a fridge door!

What a pain! And very clever of you to allow leeway for problems and minor disasters like this.

I suppose it was originally to allow me to get distracted on the internet or while getting dressed since obviously the things that happen usually aren't this disastrous!
