Grace Burned Her Hand Badly!
Yesterday I laid in bed all morning and finished my book, the buried giant. Then Grace and I tried to take her fan apart to clean it... No luck there.
Joanne was feeling sick at work, so the girls and I made her soup and took her some lunch.
After that Grace was set to cut the grass for me, but unfortunately while I was in the house, she tried to take off the gas lid on the mower, but grabbed the muffler instead! She burned her hand really badly!
The service last night was poorly attended again, and the music seemed flat. I'm not sure how much of that is just me not being attuned to the spirit or the congregation's mood.
After the service I went over to Trina and Tyler's birthday gathering at the firepit. I took my guitar along and we sang a bit.
When I got home from that Grace was still running her hand under water, and crying out in pain. Unfortunately, I spoke harshly to her and tried to help her find a way to manage the pain. We used some leaves of the aloe vera plant, and it seemed to really help.
Today is her birthday party at the point, and it looks like we're going to be able to go ahead with it.
