note from a sicko.

what i have been having lots of.

greetings from my bed.

i have been sick this whole weekend, and as exhausting and dull it has at times been, i've enjoyed taking a full weekend just to sit around and relax. i can be super lazy and actually have an excuse for it. it's pretty nice. my host mom is taking such good care of me- it's the cutest thing ever. she has been giving me lots of teas and juices and is now having me keep a temperature log at my bedside. i am pretty amused by it. the thermometer here confuses me...i am not used to using a traditional mercury thermometer. when i was done with it, i wasn't sure how to read it. not only is it hard to read where the mercury ends, but it's also in celsius (of course). i have a bit of a fever now but i'm hoping it will go away soon. this week is the week to be in chile, and i would hate to miss out on any of the festivities. i'm taking it easier than i ever do when i'm sick, so cross your fingers that it works and i get better soon!

xoxo

p.s. i felt my first earthquake today (from bed)!
