Rainy Day

Susan the work study girl calls in sick with the Flu, says she hopes that we don't get it from her. The Contessa and I immediately do come down with severe illness. Compare symptoms--chills, a tickle at the back of the throat, the inside of the ears feel Funny, tiredness. We are severely sick for about an hour. At the end of the hour the Contessa asks, Do you want coffee? Say, I sure do. She says, Great, I'll give you some money. See that have been tricked, but once outside feel glad to be out in the drizzle. Am thinking about article read earlier in the morning that said that 2005 hottest year ever, etc. Panic, miraculously, kept in check.
