my cold is almost gone

i still have no idea about where i am going to be come april; my visa is still up in the air, i think, and i still haven't been paid.

but i don't really want to go back yet. i think i need to make a pact with myself to go to pakistan no matter what.

i had some not as good as usual pasta al ragu' at nerbone today for lunch.

and i bought some more blood oranges

and i cleaned the bathroom and kitchen with real cleaning products! they make such a big difference.

now, i have to go across the hall and work. i get to read about the growth cycles of all sorts of herbs, fruits, and vegetables. in italian. lord help me.
