I'm beat! I just dealt with (yea, "dealt with") one of the most annoying cake recipes in my life. It was one that created about as many dirty dishes as a roasted vegetable lasagna recipe I've made. That's a lot! What's worse, is that I cut myself with a new grater/zester, broke my handheld mixer, spilled warm milk all over the counter, floor, and some cabinets, and splattered batter and eggy sugar on the counter and wall (and my knives on a knife holder). So after putting the blasted thing in the oven (which may have too much milk in it), I had to basically do a thorough cleaning of EVERYTHING! I was going to make an ambitious dinner tonight, but have decided to leave that for tomorrow. I think I'd cry if I had to do that one.

I was relieved that a new pair of hiking pants arrived, looks really good, and fits. They weren't that expensive, either. I like them more than the pair I bought recently, at a sporting goods store. With them I got that new grater/zester. When I looked at it, it looked scary. And yes, it is dangerous. I'm unsure if I will even use it in the future, unless I'm wearing thick gloves. It makes a box grater look like a soft pillow.
