Yes, I know this isn't Florence

Sono Ancora Malata

Last night I was feeling somewhat better. I had taken ibuprofen and my fever broke so I decided to go with Allison and Leslie to a tiny nearby restaurant to get falafels to go and come back to the apartment. It was excellent. Feeling still better after being fed and having my sinuses rather cleared by the spicy food, I also thought I would accompany them to a gelateria. The trouble came when we all three left assuming the other two had their keys when, in fact, none of us did! Luckily we were able to meet up with Justine who gave us her set with the promise that we would stay up late enough to let her in.
I’m afraid that I feel no better today. I slept off and on until 5 when I finally pulled some street clothes on and walked very reluctantly to the supermarket. I was out of most things so I didn’t really have much choice. I’m not sure how I made it home but my pulse was weirdly elevated for as little effort as I was making. In any case, I am home now and resting and will hopefully feel much better for my trip tomorrow (which I also have no choice about). Then I can spend Sunday indoors, as well.
Oh yes, I do have internet in my apartment now but it is rather spotty and not terribly reliable. This seems to be the case no matter where I go to use the internet in Florence. I will try to get pictures up as soon as possible but can’t guarantee when that will be.
