Yesterday afternoon we went to our favorite cafe to meet A. It was our first time meeting him in person, and he impressed us. It's great to have a new friend. We gave him back a movie he'd sent us in the mail, and we gave him a stack of zines and a mix cd. He had a cappuccino, and we had tea.

So other than Erik's hiking, that was the big event of the weekend. Today it's cool outside with a wind. M is coming to see me. She forgot, and I called her a little while ago, waking her up. Oops.

"Are you coming to see me today?" I asked.

"Am I supposed to?" she asked, sleepy.

One of our neighbors has a terrible cough. When she coughs, she makes a terrible gagging kind of sound to go along with it. I wish she would get better. I used to be a smoker myself, and I know how hard it can be to quit, but I wish she would quit smoking too.
