Blood and Internet

My streak of bad luck continued this morning when I was running for the bus.  I was just approaching the bus when I stepped on a piece of gnarly plastic that punctured the sole of my sandal (which doesn’t take much) and embedded itself into my foot.  Yes, I’m sure it was plastic and not a piece of rusted metal, and yes, I’m up to date with my tetanus shot.  When I discovered I was bleeding on the bus, I took out the only absorbent item I had, a panty liner, ripped it in half, and put it in my sandal catch the blood.  Once at school I rinsed the laceration with bottled water and put the other half of the panty liner in my sandal.  I cleaned it out again once I arrived home and put some antibacterial cream and an actual band aid over the cut.  If it’s not looking and feeling better in a day or two I’ll go see the nurse at school. 

HOWEVER, the guys from Cablecom actually came to install my Internet when they were scheduled to appear!  I almost forgot I was in Mexico!  They were the same guys who installed the internet in two of the other teacher’s places in my apartment complex.  One of them spoke a little bit of English—probably about the same amount of Spanish as I can speak, so we talked a little bit about Querétaro, where I was from, how old we were, weather—typical HS Spanish topics.  So I’m currently enjoying video steaming with consistent Internet and I’m excited to actually Skype with video too!  DEBTET!
