Two people and a thing left my life for the moment. First, the most joyful. I finally asked cooking boy to not visit me in the morning. Oh, my life is so much more my own now. This is all cultural. I'm sure no one at the apartments understands my desire to be alone. I don't wait for his knock, his lack of knock; I don't miss his hovering, his head weaving. Ah, peace.
And Harriet has left. I've known her for years, but we hardly talk. We hardly stopped talking here. It was so much fun to be with her. I'd never have bought all the gifts I bought or the pretty necklace if it hadn't been for her. She actually worked hard to get me eating again. I'm not sure that it is fortunate that we succeeded, but I'm back to being my normal self. And the people here at Daksh really liked her. They can't wait until she returns.
And I lost my laptop. First I thought it was the power cord/adapter, but I blew out the one Harriet left me last night. So there will be no pictures on my blog until I can get this resolved. One of the instructors, Pitaki, used to troubleshoot laptops for Dell. He's going to diagnose it on Monday since I left it at home. This also means no chatting with Karen or Adrian. Maybe they can get some peace as well.
Finally, I made it to the grocery store in the complex. It is right next to the beautiful swimming pool. I bought a chicken to make soup, lots of garlic (to kill vampires and whatever alien still resides in my stomach), american cheese (all they had) and other stuff. I'll be cooking this weekend. It is a very good store and I never had to worry about where to get staples. I just needed to explore more.

Oh, so pleased to hear that you no longer have a hovering head weaver in your kitchen! I, personally, would have been very annoyed with that as well. Sometimes just my MOM standing too close to me in the kitchen can drive me crazy! And if she were slowly poisoning me from the inside out, that would add to my feelings.
I am very very sad about your inability to post photos. I think my favorite one so far was the one of the hot water switch. That made me laugh out loud. Also? I would love to see a photo of how big a hunk of American cheese you purchased from your neighborhood grocer. Mmmmmmm.
