noses

french, non-addictive nose spray for my annoying head cold.

i meant for there to be a get fit update this week, and for what it's worth, before last friday, i was trucking along quite well!

and then a series of three things happened:

i got a bit lazy and took three days off. then i ran one day with plans to run four days straight to get back on track.

on day two of that four-day plan, my bus was heading back to site after a meeting in phnom penh, and we had a crash.  everyone was incredibly lucky and nobody had any major injuries, including myself.  i was sitting in the very front, and besides a bruised knee from slamming into the partition in front of me and a small scrape on my arm, i had zero issues.  it was a bit terrifying but definitely the best of a terrible scenario, with everyone safe. 

needless to say, i didn't feel up to running that afternoon, and my knee was in some pain, so i took the next two days off too.

fuzzy pic of the action- people crawling out of the smashed front window as the door was compromised in the accident.

and then third, i got sick. a flu turned head cold sidelined me and has for a few days.

irony is, that friday i was heading back to site, our medical team offered me my annual flu shot which i turned down for the time being.  and then promptly got a flu-ish thing three days later. le sigh.

this weekend will be birthday celebration part one, and chris has promised to buy me a box of chocolates from this delicious chocolate shop near the peace corps office.  i'm quite excited!

cheers all. how's your week?
