I eat slowly and carefully now, picking at my food.  I dream of eggs Benedict, medium rare steak, French toast as I pick at the food in front of me, soup, yogurt, crackers.

The book finally arrived and I am happy.  THE BANISHED IMMORTAL, A LIFE OF LI BAI by Ha Jin.  Tonight I will begin to read it.

I have given up any semblance of style or good taste as I dress to go out in the cold and wet.  Layer upon layer of clothes.  As long as they are almost clean, I am fine. I want to be warm and dry.

The rain drops on the glass ceiling capture the moonlight. Hundreds of glistening wet stars.
