I wake up with a cold.

Yesterday evening, we went to the Livat Mall. We ate at the Blue Frog.

Did I have a blast? Not really. I didn’t have an appetite for pub grub,

Today, we’ll go to a restaurant at Li lake.

A nice morning so far.

I went for a walk.

I’ve done some reading.

I’ve read some poetry, about Christ, about God, James Joyce, Nicolas Davila, about John Clare and about faith.

Last evening as I walked downtown Wuxi, I prayed the Rosary. It helped me pass the time and remove myself from the materialism and soullessness.

I’m just getting out of bed to take this photo and to…

Post the above video and …

Extend the streak.

I still got the cold. I am coughing and will go back to bed.

Lunch.

The spread would have been better if I hadn’t eaten the French bread this morning.

Just in time for the holidays, I’m sick. (There is now a disturbing trend of me getting sick on holidays!) I have a cold. I’m stuffed up and have a bad cough.

It won’t stop the streak.

In Jiangyin, I drove Tony to his basketball game with my colleague Noel. The plan was to drive somewhere interesting after dropping off Tony. However, Jiangyin downtown traffic was snarled on account of everyone seemingly wanting to get on the Jiangyin Big Bridge. So we ended up in the Coco City Mall where we went to a McDonald’s.

I wanted to escape the mall but traffic outside was snarled so we sat in these massage chairs.

22 RMB for thirty minutes.

Afterwards, I went to the parking garage and had a hard time finding the car. I was looking the wrong way and it was only by chance that I located it. I was so disoriented.
