Why no blogging for a week? I’ve been sick. The sore throat/coughing/body-aching/exhausting kind of sick. Luis has been the perfect nurse. He has been so loving and caring, making sure I feel ok throughout the day, making me honey-lemon tea every night, and trying to find different ways for the persistent cough to go away like boiling a pot of water and sitting under a towel with it to inhale the steam… (we can’t find our humidifier).

My friend/visiting teacher, Suzy, brought me a delicious black bean soup on Tuesday night. It tasted just like my mom’s beans and made me feel so warm and cozy.

I wish there were some way for illnesses of all types to be eradicated from the face of the earth. But since there isn’t (at least not yet), I’m grateful that I’ve been well cared for this week :)
