Noticing the year: 01/28/08

[urbpan]

This morning I noticed that it was still dark when I left for work. It was only dark at night in Antigua. I also noticed that it was really hard to cram my feet into my boots--did they shrink? did my feet expand in the tropical warmth and humidity? Or does wearing boots just suck? Lastly, I noticed that it's much harder for me to breathe here: only one nostril works at a time, and my nose is full of delightful chunks. (Refer to cottonmanifesto's post from today for further complaints.)

"delightful chunks"

Welcome back!

Have you tried a neti pot? People swear by them!

I think it's cool you did that volunteer work at the animal shelter in Antigua. (Wish I could adopt that goat, and one of the donkeys!)

you know, my old yoga teacher recommended that (snorting salt water) but she also recommended celibacy, so I took her advice only carefully. It strikes me as the same kind of thing as ear candling; then again, I spent much of last week with salt water up my nose, so maybe there's something to it.
