Similar to trying to explain your problem in another language
In the pursuit of a better behaving back - I took the advice of a sister in Amanda's congo and went to see and acupuncterist today - what an experience and not one I really want to repeat but if it helps I guess I will go back. I have to admit - I cried - but it was really quick so I shouldn't be such a big baby! When the needles went down my throat (he doesn't just treat one problem, but everything that is wrong with you and he tells me I have an allergy problem) - I was beside myself. Side note to those that might be worried about the state of the needles - the place is very very clean so no worries there. I guess if it works - it is worth it and supposedly I will only need one more appointment - so vamos a ver!

Amanda too is not feeling the best, she had her wisdom teeth pulled yesterday so is lying low. She wants to be all better in 2 weeks times because she has some exciting news. She is going to New York!!! I am so jealous. Damaris has a Gilead Graduation invitation and can take a friend, so she kindly asked Amanda to go with her - how cool is that? They get to stay at Brooklyn for 3 days and then later are going to Ohio for a couple of weeks before returning to NY for a chinese assembly. She's only allowed to go with the proviso that she takes lots of photos and videos. It's such a privilege for a little kiwi girl to have and as I now live vicariously through her I am very happy for her.

Hi!
