I turned in my application to study abroad in Thailand this summer. I can only hope it pans out. Taylor pointed out a distressing reality the other day. Apparently mosquitoes are quite vicious and can be quite deadly during Thailand's summer season. I have never proved to be much of a match for mosquitoes. He helpfully recommended ceder wood oil to vier them away. If i get into the program, I'll find a way to survive.
I've been pretty sickly as of late. After the whole rabies fiasco my foot suddenly stopped bearing weight without inducing nauseating pain. Luckily Richmond is home to an incredible Community Acupuncture Center and the two treatments I received have completely eliminated the pain. However as soon as my dumb foot stopped hurting I caught a cold that was met with little to no resistance from my beaten down immune system. Next came a three day long migraine and then an ear infection and pink eye, this past weekend. I have really taken my health for granted because as it has been taken away from me these past 3 or 4 weeks, I have been miserable. Being sick for extended periods of time becomes extremely depressing because you start feeling entirely abnormal because commonly enjoyable activities become a burden out of fatigue and stress. Thankfully I've been feeling a lot better today and I can only hope for improving health. I need to get back into good routines that promote wellness. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!
In other news, today is the 3 day in the last 7 that I have unknowingly put on an article of clothing inside out. This has never been a problem for me before so I can only wonder what it implies. Perhaps I am loosing my mind... I wouldn't doubt it. Aside from these slight blips everything has been great. Neighbor-dating is awesome and I am beyond content in my first functional relationship. A lot of times I find myself thinking that Tyler reminds me of someone I used to know and then realize that he is actually reminding me of someone I always wanted to know but never did. The only down side to all of the time we spend together is that Boogaloo is showing increasing signs of what I can only guess is separation anxiety. Shes never been one for physical affection so maybe shes just jealous. Whatever it is, I think I need to get her a little kitty playmate sometime soon. Even if they don't get along at least she won't be so lonely.
