Rocules!! (You know...Like HERCules..?)

Solo a me...
Well, I had come to terms with the fact, and was actually quite anticipatory of the fact, that if I continue to walk everyday as much as I have been, I am going to have 'Christy Linn Strength' legs... or at least, this I hope. BUT, I didn't realize that I have, apparently, begun to have Herculian strength!
So I was sitting in my bad last night (I feel like I begin bad stories with this entrance title a little too often...That's not good...) and had gotten up to grab a my little book of evening prayers, when I sat back down, and BROKE my bed. Yes. You heard correctly. I didn't break the actual frame, but I DID break the part that holds up the mattress. So I was so mind boggled, that I started to yell at the bed in Italian... Like it was the bed's fault that I have been eating too much cheese and my bones are all calcium ridden, and I broke the bed! Truthfully, the bed should have yelled at me... But seriously, my friends from next door heard me yelling at the bed and came into help. The prognosis: Apparently this happens all the time. These beds are really old and they start to break after a while. You can fix them at first, but apparently, this wasn't the first time this bed has broken because after Miriam inspected it, she said it has definitely broken before. I was rather disappointed. I desperately wanted to believe I had super human strength...Sigh. So I slept on the other bed. And yes, this morning, I had to explain to one of the sisters that I broke my bed. And she was equally bewildered as I was, but then she inspected it and came up with the same idea as Miriam, not before saying, 'Cosa hai fatto?' (What did you do?) and my respnse having to be, ' Mi sono seduta??' (I sat down?) Yea. We shall see what happens.

But on a better note, I did find a solution the itching and swelling of my mosquito bites. Last night, after mass, I went to a pharmacy and after the Pharmacist inspected my bites and realized that, yes, they were quite bad told me what to buy. Basically, she sold me a prescription lotion that I didn't have a prescription for. I mean, it totally works. But on the back it says:
'Avviso: DA VENDERSI DIETRO PRESENTAZIONE DI RICETTA MEDICA' (To be sold in the presence of a prescription.) BUT I realized it doesn't say 'ONLY in the presense'. That makes it totally o.k. I used some last night and it definitely relieved a great deal of all that itching.

I don't know what it is, but I think I am getting a little sick. I have been sneezing quite a bit and my throat hurts. Well, nothing I didn't expect...I just have to take it easy AND promise not to break my bed due to my excitement of evening prayers. :)

Love you all.
