'Cuz you had a bad day...

We (at least Ellie and I) really had a bad day yesterday. First, I dropped our laptop, so half of the screen doesn't work. There is a big crack in it. Anyone know if that is fixable? Secondly, Ellie found a water dispenser at the hotel which unfortunately dispenses hot water as well as cold. I was a split second too late and she burned her hand. I knew something was really wrong when she wouldn't stop crying, even to nurse. It was getting redder and redder, so I told Jason to find us a doctor, which he did. We went to the hospital, Ellie screaming the whole way, where we found out it was pretty much like a really bad sunburn. Water blisters formed, and it looks really bad (red and peeling), but it should be fine. She hasn't complained at all today about it. We have a cream to put on it twice a day. The last catastophe was at night, when Ellie pulled on a decorative scarf on our fridge, pulling down everything on there. Including two heavy drinking glasses that exploded upon impact. Luckily she only got a couple of very small cuts on her feet. How embarrassing to show up at the hospital again! (not to mention, of course, that we were happy that she was safe.)

Today has been much better.
