Another hot day! Temperatures here in Chattanooga are
projected to reach 105 degrees by Saturday.
A lot of running around today to prepare for tonight’s swim
meet. Grace missed swim practice this morning and slept until 8:30. That’s late
for her. When she finally woke up and saw the time, she quickly got up and
said, “I have to help Jo bathe her dogs.” She got dressed and went next door.
She and Harlee returned about an hour later. Jo gave her $20.00. Between losing
teeth and bathing dogs, Grace is making a killing this week.
Later in the afternoon, Melissa, Austin, Cole, and Lucas
visited; playing on the computer and swimming in the pool. Kay stopped by to
visit with Austin and Cole for a while. She spoke about how God has changed her
life.
Finished off the day preparing to go to the swim meet. Went
to the garage to retrieve the cooler and fell up the steps while returning. I
hit my shin so hard that Melissa and Mandy had to carry me back into the house.
I was a few seconds away from passing out as the pain was so intense. I quickly
began making phone calls to friends as I knew I wouldn’t be making it to the
swim meet. I thought I had fractured my shin bone. Grace would require some
adult supervision, and my duties as treasurer would require some instruction. In
a matter of minutes, all was taken care of. Grace was off to the swim meet, and
I was resting my leg.
Several hours later, the pain in my leg was subsiding. I missed
Grace’s swim meet for the first time and feel guilty. There will be many more
to come. Grace went home with Madi after the swim meet to spend the night. Will
meet them at Chester Frost Park tomorrow for a day at the lake.
Took some ibuprophen and went to bed.
