Answer and Explanation:
Dear Diary,
I'm still in a bit of pain as I'm writing this. Yesterday, I had one of the most common home accidents: I cut myself. My mother always says I should never do anything around the house when I'm tired. She says I make bad things happen because I'm not really paying attention - I'm too exhausted to focus, you know? And I guess she was right.
No one was home, and I was really hungry. Mom was actually out buying some pizza, but instead of calling her and learning that - I was too hungry and tired to think as well - I decided to cook something quickly. I wanted to make some pasta, but there was no tomato sauce left. I found a few tomatoes in the fridge, so I decided to use them to make a simple sauce from scratch. I was sleepy and tired after a whole week of tests and matches, so I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing. All I could think of was eating and sleeping. I didn't even notice I was cutting myself with that knife mom always keeps sharp.
All I can tell you is the pain made me forget all the sleepiness and exhaustion. I quickly washed my hand with soap and running water, and I bandaged it properly. It was not too deep of a cut, thank goodness. But I feel bad for having worried everyone. When my parents found out, they insisted on taking me to the emergency, but I saw no need for that. I also feel a bit embarrassed. If I had been patient or if I had rested a little, I could have prevented the accident.
