My parents and the doctors have conspired together to ensure that i take a break. The next 7-8 days is going to be virtually house arrest time.

There is some funny stuff happening with my lungs that needs to be figured out. The first casualty of it is my smoking. As of 1 am this morning, I gifted my pack and lighter away and joined the rank of non smokers. (hope that lasts!)

At the end of the first day, I am ready to start painting the walls. I guess that I am going to catch up with all the books that i splurged on the Strand Book Sale.
