Lordy my lips

I got an allergic reaction to a lip balm. I look like Angeline Jolie in a bad way, does she have this constant tingling too? It's pretty uncomfortable and I hope this cream the doctor gave me will make it go away very, very soon. I tried taking pictures (actually to send to Brandi, for whatever reason, but I could post them here too) but they all just look like I'm wearing a lot of lip gloss. I'll try another.

I don't know why I have to include such personal information in my blog, I should probably just talk about the trips I take and the cultural revelations I have. But... whatever. This is for friends and family and probably 80% for myself.

I have a walking tour with a class today which is great but also a bummer that it's TODAY because my mouth is so uncomfortable. Who knew you use your lips so often, who knew they were so sensitive and you basically do not stop doing things through your mouth the entire day (breathing, opening, closing, eating, drinking, talking, smiling --or in my case, squinting eyes and slowly molding closed mouth upwards). Man. Well, hopefully it's gone by the end of this week because god it's annoying.

Bonne journée
