Day three in Freo

So far my time in Perth has been testing my ability to stay positive, but I did claim to come to Australia in search of challenges.

My nights continue to be mostly sleepless (and very hot), my throat is still swollen, making it very difficult to swallow most anything, and today, I lost part of my tooth while I was eating a hotdog at the community dinner. For those who are close to me, you'll know that I've had an endless amount of problems with my teeth in my lifetime, so it would be less than surprising to have dentures by the time I hit 30.

On the plus side, my fever is gone (for now), the sunsets are apparently beautiful (as I've been too sick to enjoy one for myself), I bought a swimsuit top for 3 dollars, I'm losing weight and saving money by not having an appetite for anything, and none of the 30 women on this trip have turned savage yet. Also, Brenna has been an absolute gem for putting up with all that's going on with me right now. She has dealt with me long enough that when she gets back from the shower, she's not surprised or worried to see me laying on the floor in nothing but my towel, moaning about life.

I'll let you all know when something more interesting happens to me.

Love all around!
