Day 313: Patched up

I saw this car and its duct tape patches the other day. Fortunately 'the ultimate engineering material' comes in a variety of colours, so it is not restricted to silver/grey/gray cars.

It may not show, but I'm feeling much better today, I went to bed feeling human, slept well and woke up feeling human - for the first time in a week. I managed a fairly normal day of work too, although it was a frustratingly fragmented day.

Tomorrow and Wednesday look set to go the same way, and then we get the share in our first Thanksgiving and our first Black Friday. It looks like we will have the pleasure of having a traditional Thanksgiving meal with a real American family, which is really cool. Whether we will engage in the excessive consumerism of Black Friday (UK readers: think Christmas shopping Saturday + first day of January sales rolled into one and supersized) remains to be seen, but I think we will manage to resist.

  2. But then again we've also got our cultural immersion to think about - and a blog to write, it could provide good data for both :-)
