Infection
I have caught a cold. I HATE having a cold. I am now seriously reconsidering my previous post on the ideals of non-materialism. For example, I wish that right now I had more of the following consumer goods: Nyquil, a huge (clean) bathtub, kleenex, more kleenex, etc.
Anyway, I spent Saturday doing laundry (oh the painful hours spent hand-wringing out my clothes after the washer consistently decided NOT to go through the spin cycle) and cleaning the apartment. Saturday night, I went downstairs to a party at Birte and Tomomi's apartment. They had cooked traditional German and Japanese food, and Alvaro and others contributed other food. Roya made an apple and plum crumble as our apartment's contribution.
I was in bed by midnight with a sore throat and cough, which sprung into a full-blown cold by the morning. I slept most of the day (making up for the 3 hours of sleep I got on Friday night--a combination of watching movies and getting up for laundry at 7 a.m.) and have just now made dinner, consisting of pesto chicken and pasta. Soon I will go back to bed.
