Spilled coffee on my bujo at the DMV and lost 3 weeks of weekly spreads
I was sitting at the DMV on Grand Ave last Tuesday with my bujo open on my lap when the guy next to me bumped my arm and my whole iced coffee went right onto the pages. I tried blotting it with a napkin but the ink was already smeared and the next 3 weeks of weekly spreads were toast, so I just redrew them that night with a ruler and gave up on the fancy layouts. Has anyone else had to rebuild a chunk of their journal after a spill, or do you just start fresh at the next month?
Bought a cheap pack of blotting paper after I dumped a whole mug on mine and now I keep a sheet tucked in the back cover just in case. For the three weeks you lost, just redraw the grid lines with a pen and skip the washi tape and doodles, because the info matters way more than the pretty stuff anyway. Starting fresh at the next month is fine too, but filling in those lost weeks keeps your streak going and your brain from feeling like it lost time.
