maybe it's radish.

GOOD NEWS: now that work is over, I have time to admit to myself that I've had a fever all week, and probably bronchitis.

GOOD NEWS: as long as I don't go to the doctor, it will stay "probably bronchitis" and not turn into "Brooke, you have bronchitis." I should write a book on how to not get diagnosed with any illness ever again. It would be very short.

GOOD NEWS:: today I finally did something I've wanted to be a tradition since I moved here, and bought myself flowers at the Friday market to cheer myself up. (I didn't want cheering myself up to be a tradition, just the part about flowers.) 

I may be the only girl ever to graduate from my university without taking a flower-arranging class. This probably would have earned me a C-. All I know about these flowers is their name starts with R in French and that the orange ones were moldy. What an exciting tradition.

Hope your Friday was as good as mine.
