The End of 2009

Another trip to the original Ayurvedic doctor, some not sooooo herbal-looking pills (unless hot pink and brillant orange are special Indian herbs), twenty-four hours later and I'm beginning to feel human again.     The second round of hives seems to have subsided, my face is no longer deathly white and I'm actually blogging again.    I found an apartment to move into tomorrow with two Italian ladies that I've never met who arrive in a few days.   There is internet IN the apartment so I won't have to battle mozzies and cold concrete to post this blog.    There is even an awesome cook in the new apartment---she cooked for us in 2006 when I was one of the only people I've ever known who actually gained 5 pounds.   I promise once I get moved in, I'll blog more regularly.   Stay posted.   I'm sure New Year's Eve in India is going to be an interesting one!   Things are definitely looking up.
