By stating it in the headline I am going to try to make this quick, but living with myself for 16 years I know that is virtually impossible (to make anything quick). Today I went to school without my bandage! I was so happy. It was like that feeling you get in spring that first time you can comfortably go outside without a coat feeling the warm breeze on your skin (and now you know the major thing in my thoughts) not having the big white thing on my nose, and in fact people stared less. Really from straight on and above (I'm short only 5' 1 3/4") below it's still not pretty and I still have to slather on neosporm (I have no idea how to actually spell that) and this other Burt's Bees cream (res-Q ointment) that has a bunch of natural herbs and a really strong smell (especially if your sticking it up your nose like I am.) These creams make my nose all slimy looking was the main reason I was still wearing the bandage, but today I just didn't care I wanted it off!
It went pretty well except for one point in history were I succumbed to my old habit of leaning my face in my hands therefor accidentally pressing my nose into my palm. Not a fun feeling. You honestly don't know how much you touch your nose (I know that sounds weird, but it's true) until something like this happens.
One more quick thing about the nose I have been getting daily "spiritual healing from the temple." I'd rather not explain what that is now, remind me and I'll do it in another entry, but lets suffice to saying its a lot like raiki if you know what that is. Actually I don't, but that's what mum says and she does know. Anyhow what I wanted to say about it is that it is the one time of the day I truly feel peaceful. Lately I have been so edgy, after so much time off getting back to school is really hard, and then exams themselves. usually I sleep well, but lately I have been having weird and horrible dreams every night the most vivid being me riding with some others at Equi-Valent and a large black horse named Fred (who does not exist in real life) snapping his leg while cantering around a turn. When someone does the healing to me though, always in the temple in front of Swamiji's picture I still have thoughts but this deep sense of calm settles over me that lasts for a long time.
As I predicted this was not short, but I got everything out! Check in for more later, I might have a very interesting story to tell sometime in the next few days.

Sounds like you are doing SO WELL, Ursie-Yogini. Your optimistic outlook is so refreshing AND I really like your writing as well. Keep it up!
