The title of this post is misleading, because I'm not really that sick. I thought I might be, and I had a fever on Saturday night, but I really only feel sick when I eat. So I've given up eating, and now I'm fine.
Just kidding. I'm still eating.
Anyways, today I'm feeling good so far, so I'm hoping it will hold. Yesterday I didn't have internet pretty much all day, so I couldn't post about the deeper meaning behind my having been here 6 weeks and having only 4 weeks left. And now I don't think there's a deeper meaning, so I deleted the post I wrote yesterday.
Helen and I are working on planning some travels, and if all goes according to our very rough plans, we may be leaving for the south of India on Sunday. Maybe. There is still a lot of uncertainty there. But I'm excited about the idea of changing up routine, because I'm getting sort of frustrated with the predictability of my days (made worse by being in bed for the better part of two days).
What else is noteworthy here?
My new clothes from Kolkata are now altered and wearable, which is exciting. Helen bought some really excellent mangoes on Sunday and I'm looking forward to eating more of them when my stomach is okay with it. I finished my 13th book since leaving the U.S. last night. I don't think I'll reach my goal of 30 books before I get back, but I'm sure I'll get through at least 20, which is still pretty good. (Unless I start Shantaram, which is nearly 1000 pages but is supposed to be very good and takes place in India.)
I forgot a few essential things on my list of things I miss about the U.S.: having electricity all the time and having screens on windows.
I think that's all for now. Sorry this post was not especially interesting.
