In which there is self pity, a cockroach called Fred, and flu-medicine induced rambling...
Coming home, I'm beginning to realise, is more or less the worst part of going away. It's not that your parents are any less tolerant, or that your room is any smaller, or that your town is any more boring, it just feels like itYou know that things are bad when you're missing the cold showers you took over a drain in the floor, or the cockroach

India was awesome, yes, I hope I get to go back and see more someday. I'm feeling much better already thank you! (Oh, go ahead and nag, I enjoy it. :) I had the pills because I had a high temperature and wasn't thinking clearly. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)
EEEEK!!!!! o_O Did you have to get rabies shots too, or just Relle? My mother got savaged by a cat a few years ago and had to have them. For whoever got the shots, they know there are multiple shots in the series, right??
I was okay! Relle was savaged, and I think she knows there are multiple shots in the series, she's being advised by recommended doctors out there, so she's being well looked after. The story of how they dealt with it is pretty funny too - just after The Roach Slayer and I left, they took Relle to the hospital, where she was told she had to find a chemist selling the rabies shots and buy one for the doctors to inject. Just as they were beginning their search, there was a powercut, and then it started raining, and I'm talking monsoon rain. But they managed in the end - she's fine now, apart from possibly needing a little therapy when she gets home.
Roaches don't cause either. ;-)
No, I should have explained this. I went out to India with a company, and on the first day our local contact had a little chat with us and decided to remind us why we were paying so much money to volunteer. She used the example of a volunteer who had once come to India and discovered that she had a brain tumour, and of how the company had taken care of her. So that sort of became a running joke - getting a brain tumour in India. Because all of us were sick, sick people.
I'm glad you're back! The henna is gorgeous. D'oh, I just remembered that the 4th of July celebration I'm not going to tonight is where I usually get henna done...
Thank you! I expect pictures of what I'm sure will be your equally fabulous henna. :)
