I was invaded.

I have no idea why I wake up so early today. Just want to write about my luggages before I forget. They arrived yesterday morning when I was out at school for businesses. Larry waited for the airline people to deliver them and the two luggages were in my room when I was back in the late afternoon.

The small luggage was "inspected." Well, invaded may be a more accurate term to me. Actually the two luggages were already opened for inspection in the Hong Kong airport. Just some point in the transition without my knowing, the small one was "inspected" again.

The padlock was removed and the little metal end of the zipper was cut away. Well, I found a note inside saying that the luggage was inspected for passenger security. Does this make any sense? To break my security measures (my locks!) for the sake of passenger security. Was I a passenger then? My security was broken!

Anyways, can't imagine those poor people to find my sandbags and physiotherapy book chapters and journal papers on patellofemoral syndrome. I should actually thank them to delay my luggages and they were to be sent to me at the front door. I just didn't have to worry about pulling them around. The tradeoff is to have my locks damaged. Anyways, the locks can be replaced but my knees can't.

Let me also write down my second time shopping here: ultrathin, $4.24 including tax at Publix. My M is so very normal.
