My entire monthly spread got wrecked by a coffee spill at the library

Honestly, I was at the downtown library last Thursday working on my March setup. I had just finished drawing out my calendar grid with a fine liner when my elbow knocked over my iced coffee. It went right across the page, smearing the ink into a huge blue blob. I just froze for a second, totally gutted. My first thought was to just tear the page out, but I only had two pages left in my notebook. So I grabbed a paper towel, blotted it, and let it dry. The next day, I went over the stained area with a white gel pen and drew little clouds and raindrops around the smudges to make it look intentional. It actually turned into a cute little weather theme for the month. Has anyone else salvaged a big mistake in their bujo by turning it into something else?

Actually, that sounds like a huge waste of time, and @the_kelly is right, life is just fixing messes.

Oh man, I saw a quote like that once. Said life is basically cleaning up the small messes so you can enjoy the quiet moments. Kinda fits, right?
