waiting for a ruffle to fly up behind and ruffle this fever/sore throat thing away. i think it's almost gone though. creeped up on me monday during afternoon rehearsal at philadanco, and i took work off the last two days because of it. something from cynthia, brought on from a saturday night of not sleeping very deeply and then running around all sunday--buying a bike from a nice guy, then meeting R in s. philly, culling change out of a vase for the subway, and walking from 'last drop' (her boyfriend's coffee shop) to old city...scouting spots to perform the duet and brainstorming about dance possibilities, her memories of the nyc blackout...saving a daylily from death, uprooted on the sidewalk beside the christ church cemetery (which is actually a ways away from christ church)...then subway back to s. philly for dinner, chowfun noodles, cilantro, mint, basil, bean sprouts, sweet fish sauce dressing, and shrimp grilled on the barbie. and honeycake and tea for dessert. bicycled back home, bent over my sheep's horn handle bars, suddenly streamlined and speedy, just a little cold on one of our first summery evenings with baretoe tevas, coffee cup pants (is that what they're called? aaron first told that phrase to me and that's what has stuck in my head), and blue poland dress that has gotten so much wear.
today clouds are creeping up...haven't checked the weather report yet.
