\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know you were upset with me for getting my nose re-pierced last week. I remember how you, Dad, and I fought like cats and dogs when I came home from Italy with it pierced, because y\u2019all had spent so much money while I was in high school fixing the hole that Rhinocort had put in my septum, and here I went off and put another hole in my nose. But with 30 rapidly approaching, I knew that if I wanted to get it pierced again I\u2019d have to do it now, before I got too old for such shenanigans. I did<\/em> feel bad about it. Just not bad enough.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, though, nature is a mother too, and she took your side and gave me a nasty head cold with all<\/em> the congestion. Do you want to know what\u2019s worse than having a miserable cold and not being able to sleep through it because your equally miserable minions are fighting over your lap? Having a miserable cold that you can\u2019t sleep through and<\/em> not being able to blow your nose, or really even wipe it, because you just got it pierced and it\u2019s still healing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I just though you\u2019d want to know that mother nature\u2019s got your back, and I know\u2026you told me so.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n
