my brain takes longer to recover than my body

It's been almost a week, and I'm happy to report that I seem to be fully recovered. There are still certain foods that turn my stomach (why, peanut butter, why?), but my temperature is back to normal, nothing aches, and the nausea has totally disappeared. I can even eat things other than plain rice and saltines. It was quite a nasty bug, but I have a feeling no one really wants details, so I'll leave it at that.

It does appear that in my week of lying on the couch moaning, I missed six whole days of beautiful weather. It was in the 50s and 60s the whole time. Today I'm enjoying one last day of these temperatures with the curtains and windows wide open despite the rain and grey skies, because tomorrow the high is 37. Yuck.

Also in the past week:

  • my parents moved
  • my baby brother turned 18
  • the Feldman Family Birthday Extravaganza began
  • I discovered that the conditioner I've been using for 9 years has been discontinued
  • we bought the RENT DVD and watched the documentary, which was much better than the movie itself
  • we realized that Lauren is on call during Drag Ball
  • we cleaned the apartment from top to bottom

    This last item is because starting today, in less than an hour, potential Oberlin RD candidates will be touring our apartment. I forgot how much I hate this, but at least it's better than at Ramsgate, where they would just show up at your door with no warning to have people look around. There are scheduled times when the candidates will be here.

    Tonight Purim begins, and we aren't doing anything for it. Tomorrow is Lauren's birthday. Friday morning Lauren leaves for ACPA and I go home for a week. These things are not related, but I felt like sharing them. I have nothing else to say, but it's nice to be able to babble for no reason at all.

    I rented and watch RENT last week, and thought that the documentary was great - so touching. I'm glad I watched it.

    oh, and I'm looking forward to seeing you next weekend!
