Sickness Within

• Happy Baby Day to John and Katie! (Not actually though, because Baby Bateman is stubborn. How rude.)
• Took my first sick day at work. Sick days aren’t really something that people in Korea do, but my body has not been groomed for that kind of rigor. I might have still been able to be there, but seeing as my plan would have been to show a movie because my head is so stuffed I can’t handle teaching, no one would be learning any English today anyways. And it’s Friday. Winter is so awesome for helping me call in and for taking care of me, even though I know she needs this rest day as much as I do. 
• Walked down my street in search of a health store (where you buy over-the-counter drugs here) and found that, among all of the closed storefronts and creepy areas, there is just about everything you need. Phone store, clock store, health store, grocery stores, a few restaurants, a few clothing stores (not just ajumma clothes either), a bakery, a stationary store. Cool!
• I made cookie in the microwave tonight, thanks to a recipe in my care package from Carlee :) It was pretty yummy too! Not as good as Betty Crocker mixes, but that lady’s a genius...and doesn’t sell her mixes in Korea. 
• I felt like an old lady tonight – I licked my thumb to pry apart some stubborn plastic bags.
