That one

It's day five of this cold I developed while up in Boston over the weekend. The cold started as a nasal drip after Friday night, when I was staying with one of Rob's friends in Providence. It remained a very annoying nasal drip throughout Saturday and into my gig at B.U. but became a full-fledged cold by the next day. Rob was nothing but a sweetheart, buying me tea, making sure I had everything I needed, reminding me to pick up some medicine and Puffs when we stopped by a supermarket. He also did something my ex wasn't as great as - he gave me my space just before my gig. I find I have the hardest time with this. I'm naturally a very affectionate person, but just before gigs I really need solitude to focus. Rob seemed to just know it. He didn't follow me to my dressing room before the show, and when he called it was only to ask if I wanted some tea.

Saturday I managed to gather Danny Katz and Eric, who I would stay with that night, together for lunch with me, Rob, Paul and Sam. Then Danny and Eric left and the rest of us walked around the Fenway for a bit, around enemy territory (hehe) before heading back to the venue. I was getting prepped, but Rob and Paul insisted on taking a nap on a small grassy patch on Comm Ave. It was cute. Sam, self-conscious, wasn't sure what to do.

That night we met up with Seb, who managed to catch my set and the rest of the show. He offered to make us dinner, since I was sick, so the night became a semi-fruition of a little-known fantasy of two guys making me dinner. :) Two good-looking guys, one with a French accent. haha. Seb made ratatouille, some baked trout with rice and a salad. All was delicious, though my sickness made me lose some appetite, and a few taste buds. We just lounged around on his air bed for a little while before Eric came to pick us up.

I'm glad we stayed with Eric because he had a really comfortable pad with a futon - which is really what we needed. I tend to move around a lot and deprive Rob of sleep. The futon muffled movement, so that was great.

Eric took us to a great Pho place in Harvard Square. It was perfect for my cold and Rob finally got some good vegetarian food. We made it home around 7:30 after picking up some fried chicken for my sister.
