i thought maybe sandy would be home today because she mentioned something at the start of the week about not going to work on thursday and friday, but when i checked the foyer her boots were gone. for lunch i had some leftover ribs, a piece of turkey bacon, and some more chicken wings. i heated them up in the toaster oven so i wouldn't have to eat them cold.

i was coughing the whole day, sucking on some mentholated drops to control it. i don't know if my cold came from kelvin or my parents. i've been staying hydrated but every morning i wake up with a sore throat.

sandy came home around 5:30pm, where she promptly retreated to her bedroom to chat with kelvin. she finally came out around 7:30pm to make dinner, a simple bowl of glass noodles in broth. my dinner was similar, the beef broth i got from my parents on tuesday (family friend gave it to them) mixed with some rice noodles. i didn't have enough broth so the noodles soaked up most of the liquids. the beef broth was also too sweet (too much carrots) though very meaty. i tempered the sweetness with some vietnamese garlic hot sauce and taiwanese black vinegar. we watched the lakers-celtics game. boston was on the verge of winning but in the final second rajon rondo made a falling jump shot that gave los angeles the win. i was sorry we lost, but i couldn't get mad over rondo making a big score.
