Travelling: Bullet-Points

Charisse is:

- so, so tired of airports.
- determined to never travel anywhere, ever, with more than a carry-on (OK, and a purse).
- surprised by how very pleased she is to be back in the USA.
- sad that the Red Mango frozen yogurt was not good (even though "pomegranate" is an awesome flavor).
- grateful that Americans understand the concept of personal space, even in massive airport lines.
- happy not to be seated next to anyone single/attractive/flirtable, as she has a non-hideable cold sore.
- wondering if her chances of being seated next to someone single and attractive and flirtable will increase if she manages to travel with only a carry-on (sans cold sore).
- sitting directly behind the plane's token cranky toddler, for the leg of the trip that does not include an in-flight movie (i.e., headphones).
- glad she has a couple of movies on her laptop, and headphones.

Welcome back!

Also, you might have already tried this, but I finally found a way to make my cold sores go away (I sound like a dodgy spam advertisement right now). When your mouth starts to get that itching feeling, get a q-tip and antiseptic wash and like rub the wash (you may need a few q-tips) into the area pretty hard for maybe 10 minutes or so and then the cold sore never pops up.

Sadly, it doesn't work when you already have a cold sore.

More sadly, I've also had enough cold sores that I've been able to try it both ways.

I don't love it. (o:
