i spent practically the whole day lying on my back. i even ate in bed, that's how dedicated i was to the art of being horizontal. but all that recumbency left me with a nagging back ache. although i shouldn't be one to judge since i'm pretty lazy myself, i don't like seeing laziness in others. that's why i was especially proud of my roommate when he went to work this morning, the day after christmas. it also left me with the house to myself on this friday that felt like a saturday. i was listening to an audio copy of doris kearns goodwin's "team of rivals" when i fell asleep in the early evening. i didn't dream of lincoln and his cabinet. i woke up later to have some canned soup for dinner in the living room before retiring to the bedroom again. when my roommate came back home he told me he had a toothache, that one of his molars was loose. i gave him some aleve which killed the pain but the tooth might need to come out at some point. he said he'd try to wait until he got back to china, which isn't until another 3 months.
