addendum to shitty afternoon:

And, I just burned my fingers on the lid of a casserole I'm baking for dinner. Yup. the pads on three of the fingers of my right hand are coming up in blisters. Including the thumb.
The moral of the story is: Take your shower early in the day, because you never know when by afternoon, you'll be in too much pain to withstand hot water.
The alternate moral is: just stay in bed all fucking afternoon, for god's sake.
