Wow. Once I leave my house today it will be one long whirlwind. I have one more night at my parents' house, and then they are all coming to stay here tomorrow, before taking me to the airport Monday morning. There is still A LOT of cleaning to do, and a few loose ends to tie up. I'm trying to keep it together, but there is some panic creeping in.
And on another note, I have a theory that one of the reasons I wasn't very daring as a kid was because I had a tendency to suffer rather ridiculous injuries. They were always minor, but the fact that it happens often prevents me from taking bigger risks to my person for fear of what would happen if I did. I'm guessing that during my time in Nicaragua, there's going to be lots of opportunity for such injury to occur. Here's the first one, which I will be dealing with for the next couple of weeks, until it heals itself. I ruptured my left eardrum. Yes, it hurts, like a dull ache all the time. I did this while blowing my nose. I put so much pressure on it that there was a loud POP followed by much pain. Now whenever I want to blow my nose, I have to cover my left ear b/c otherwise it hurts, a lot. This will make flying, um, not fun, and it will probably make me look silly a lot because I anticipate much crying and much nose-blowing in the next few days. Maybe if you're lucky I can get one of my family members to capture me on camera blowing my nose with my finger in my ear. Please stay tuned for more exciting adventures!
