Diary: A friend's wedding ceremony/ I cut my index finger when cooking dinner last weekend I cut the index finger of my left hand when cooking dinner last weekend. My husband and I went to a friend's wedding ceremony and ate a lot of delicious food there at lunch time. Then my husband and I felt so guilty to ourselves, because we have been trying to lose weight for month, but failed every time when offered with fine food. So we decided to walk home instead, where is 8km away from the wedding ceremony place. We had a great time walking and talking, and felt so proud of ourselves to stick to our great lose-weight-plan. We didn't feel tired at all. But when we got home, we were so tired out that we went to bed to have a nap soon. 2 hours later, I got up in a daze to cook the dinner. Then I had my finger cut and it bleed a lot. My husband quickly got me a bandaid, and I put it on my wound and tried to press it to stop bleeding. But it didn't work, still bleeding. So we hurried to the hospital, where I had my wound taken care of and dressed. Now I'm typing with 9 fingers, LOL. Now the bad thing is that I have to go to the hospital to have the dress changed every two days. But like a coin of two sides, there comes good thing that my husband does cooking instead. It's a kind of vacation.

I cut the index finger of my left hand when cooking dinner last weekend.

My husband and I went to a friend's wedding ceremony and ate a lot of delicious food there at lunch time. Then my husband and I felt so guilty to ourselves, because we have been trying to lose weight for month, but failed fail(1) every time when offered with fine food. So we decided to walk home instead, where is (8km away from the wedding ceremony place) instead(2) . We had a great time walking and talking, and felt so proud of ourselves to stick to our great lose-weight-plan. We didn't feel tired at all. But when we got home, we were so tired out that we soon(2) went to bed to have a nap soon.

2 hours later, I got up in a daze to cook the dinner. Then I cut (2) had my finger cut and it bleed bled a lot. My husband quickly got me a bandaid, and I put it on my wound and tried to press it to stop bleeding. But it didn't work, still bleeding. So we hurried to the hospital, where I had my wound taken care of and dressed. Now I'm typing with 9 fingers, LOL.

Now the bad thing is that I have to go to the hospital to have the dressing changed every two days,. But but on the other side of the coin like a coin of two sides, there comes good is the good thing that my husband does the cooking instead. It's a kind of vacation.

 

(1) fail = habitually fail, don't use the past tense 'failed'

(2) word order, phrase order is not quite right several times here ...

(3) another phrase that is easier but has the same meaning ...on the one hand ... but on the other hand

 

Indeed that must have been a nasty cut!  No problems with the English really, perfectly understandable, just issues of verb tense and word/phrase order.

My husband and I went to a friend's wedding ceremony and ate a lot of delicious food there at lunch time. Then my husband and I felt so guilty to ourselves, because we have been trying to lose weight for months, but failed every time whenwe were offered with fine food. So We decided to walk home instead, which is 8km away from the wedding ceremony[1] venue. We had a great time walking and talking, and felt so proud of ourselves to sticking to our great lose-weight-plan. We didn't feel tired at all. But when we got home, we were so tired out that we went to bed to have a nap soon.

But it didn't work, it was still bleeding. So we hurried to the hospital, where I had my wound taken care of and dressed. Now I'm typing with 9 fingers, LOL.

Now the bad thing is that I have to go to the hospital to have the dressing changed every two days. But like a coin has two sides, there was a good side to this: that my husband does the cooking instead. It's a kind of vacation.

[1] You could leave the 'ceremony' in there, but normally it is redundant.
