The Mumps: Day 5 & An Earthquake

Last night the swelling started going down. I can start to see my jawline again! I'm still a few days away from normalcy but every little difference is great. Today's mugshot:


Also, if you haven't heard...Japan had a major earthquake/tsunami today. Luckily, I'm pretty far north from the epicenter but I definitely felt it. Some of you may not know this but I'M TERRIFIED OF EARTHQUAKES! In my head, I imagine the Earth opening up and swallowing everything whole. Is this irrational thinking? Yes, but at least I admit it. Anyway, I was laying on the couch (healing, of course) watching TV when I noticed the tapestry on the way across from me was shaking. I thought it seemed odd so I started looking around the rest of my apartment to see if something else was shaking. In fact, pretty much everything was shaking, so I started to panic (see above capital letters). I went outside in my pajamas and called my husband. The neighbors probably thought I was crazy! This happened four times today but, luckily, no major damage up here and everyone is alright!
