Not much to report as I woke up with the runs, felt feverish and sluggish and had no choice but to cancel all plans for the day. And I had such a full agenda: lunch with Peter and Caroline and then visit to his place to see the kitten he had so gallantly taken off Caroline’s hands about a week after she had found it on my staircase. Then I was to meet with Dariush to find out where I could blow up my handouts into posters so I don’t have to make individual copies. Later on, meeting with Nigina, who had just returned from Washington, D. C., and finally dinner at Ryan’s house.

I tried to make a soup from one the envelopes I had bought recently and which purported to convert into a some kind of noodle soup, but even after adding chicken bouillon, it was plain vile. Back to bread and cheese and apple juice. Watched the movie “Casino”, the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” and saw my first episode of “Glee” from the selection of movies, TV shows and documentaries Yoomie had shared with us. It rained all day long once again. I could see slender ribbons of water coursing through the alleyway and the temperature never got above 48 degrees. It was a good day to be sick in bed.
