Vent: My entire weekly spread got wrecked by a single coffee spill

I was setting up my journal at the kitchen table yesterday morning, my favorite pen in hand. I had just finished drawing the lines for my habit tracker when my elbow knocked over a full mug. Brown coffee went EVERYWHERE, soaking two whole pages. I tried to blot it fast, but the ink from my pen bled and smeared all over the place. Now my clean layout is a blurry, stained mess for the next seven days. I'm so annoyed I almost just ripped the pages out. Has anyone else salvaged a major spill, or do you just start over on the next page?

Honestly my clumsiness could be a professional hazard.

Ever try to get coffee out of a paper grocery receipt? Left one on my dashboard once. Sun baked it, coffee soaked it. Turned into this weird crispy brown blob. Couldn't read a single price. Just a sticky mess. Had to argue with the return desk for twenty minutes.
