Today I woke up and my computer had stopped working…  I afraid this might be the end of it and I had a good cry over it.  Sergio took me to both the pharmacy and the computer repair shop to fix both of us (I was up all night coughing).  I have a feeling my cold is wearing on me a making me very emotional.

So today I have been taking it slow.  My new medicine makes me shake a lot and I was sure to lay down and take a nap this afternoon after lunch.

There isn´t all that much to report today other than that I am slowly working in the studio using a measuring system which is new to me but loving the fabulous glue that Sergio had bought for me to use while I am here (if you all know the troubles I have mounting photographs, you would know how grateful a find this is).  The studio here is still something to get used to… not the same tools or the same set up.  At times it´s a little frustrating but at other times a beautiful challenge to push me further.  I think what I will do here will be exciting work although slow going.  It´s all worth it though.

Unfortunately I have few cultural adventures to report… I was coughing so much on the bus today that Sergio said I am making myself a ¨celebrity¨with all the attention it aroused.  Well, it´s not really the celebrity I would neccessarily look for but I was grateful for a lozenge.

(this is me not knowing how sick i look)
