New Roommate
I managed to enjoy the warm weather through my fully opened windows, rather than going outside. I realized I was getting increasingly sniffly and, afraid of catching the cold virus that seems to be circulating through the group, I allowed myself a quiet day.
I managed to read another big chunk of Natural Capitalism, although I still have a significant section to finish. I also took a long and luxurious nap (once again, let me stress what an improvement my new bed is!), did a little budgeting, and generally relaxed. I made an excellent tomato and cucumber couscous for dinner, and chatted with Roya and Jessica. Around 8 p.m. we trooped over to Heather's apartment (just two blocks down from us) and got her furniture, which is being turned over to Jessica. With Alvaro's help (he magically turned up after doing laundry), we dragged it all back to our place, where we had tea and caught up on everyone's weekend activities. After Heather and Alvaro left, the three of us assembled most of the furniture—leaving the dreaded desk assembly until tomorrow. Roya even managed to rig up a temporary shower curtain from the bed's plastic wrap—we'll see how it holds up through tomorrow morning's preparations.
