Jill, your luck has not been good lately... first the burned biscuits,
now this. Don't operate heavy machinery in the near future, because
it could be hazardous to your health and whatever you do - please
don't buy any lottery tickets!

Hope that hand wasn't too badly cut and you'll find all the glass
shards before your kitties do.
