And my cold continues… I went to bed about 10:45 last night and got up a little before ten this morning; though I didn’t sleep the whole time—hardly, between waking up to blow my nose or because I couldn’t breathe or to go to the bathroom several times from all the water I drank because my throat was so dry. But, on the bright side, it’s still 81 degrees at eight o’clock in the evening!

I drug myself out of bed and slowly got ready to meet Carmen at noon. We talked for about an hour and a half—among other things about my upcoming trip to GERMANY! Obviously we won’t be meeting next Friday, but she said she wants to hear all about it the Friday after next!

I went to the store on my way home to pick up some more fruit—strawberries and oranges. And I’ve just been hanging out since then. I’m feeling a little better than when I got home, so I’m meeting Pilar, my English student, for dinner—just for fun, not to study or anything.

Xoxo,

Court
