Late yesterday afternoon, I met Sara in Harvard Square to discuss housing issues and get some paperwork filled out. I had completely forgotten about the Octoberfest celebrations in Harvard Square. The entire square was packed. I walked around looking at the various vendors' wares. I stopped at one of the various tables offering Indian food, and got some really cheep pakoras which I smothered in tamarid sauce.
After the meeting with Sara, I met up with
riga_mortia. We went back to my place, where we painted and played writing games.
riga_mortia was feeling slightly under the weather, however, we still stayed up later than we intended talking, writing, drinking, and listening to music.
In the morning,
riga_mortia's slightly under the weather had bloomed into an full blown cold. For a nice sick person breakfast, I fed her chicken and rice soup. Being vegetarian, it's surprising that I had a can of it lying around. I'm not sure where I got it at this point, it has been languishing on the back of my food shelf for quite some time and I've never gotten around to throwing it out or giving it away.
As
riga_mortia rested, I made a quick run to see Jude and drop off some paperwork. The housing issue seems to be moving ahead, which is good. However, the sum of all the incomes of the tenants I've lined up is less than what Jude was pushing for. While together we can definitely afford the place, that could be a problem. However, I'm going to have to risk it.
riga_mortia is still running a fever, I hope she feels better soon. I'm going to go out to the corner store shortly and pick her up some Gatorade and cold medication.
