One more thing off the list

[onefixedstar]

My apartment hunting trip this past weekend was a success. We managed to secure a very nice two-bedroom apartment in an excellent location. The rent is a little more than I was hoping to pay, but less than I was afraid I would have to. All in all, I'm happy. Now comes the fun part--decorating. Or rather, that's what would come if I didn't have a thesis to finish. As it is, I think furnishing the new apartment will have to wait until next month.

The news isn't so good on the home front. I returned home today to find out that my roommate has mono, strep throat, and an ear infection. Poor girl! Not surprisingly, she had a miserable weekend; she feels awful and she's frustrated at being unable to work on her thesis. I'll have to see what I can do to pamper her over the next couple of weeks.

Just don't catch anything from her!!

Agreed; now it would be the last thing you need.

Then again, given the long incubation for mono, if you did now you'd be in Toronto by then (not that you need it then either)...

Keep a close eye on your health...

According to the doctor, transmission between roommates is very rare, and unlike Lisa, I don't typically get sick when stressed. I think as along as I refrain any extended make-out sessions with her, I should be okay. ;-)

Might be tough, though. I guess you can incorporate it as a noble sacrifice for your work...

...but thanks for the amusing image anyway. ;)
