Apart from being snowed in, green_trilobite and I both woke up sick this morning; I'd planned to do a mini-grocery run, to the mom-and-pop across the street, during the day, but instead we languished in the apartment while I eked out the rest of the food. He had cold symptoms while I was faintly nauseous all day, and more so towards evening. Eventually I went to bed and slept fitfully. At 2:30 am I was awoken by the sound of green_trilobite coming home with the night concierge helping him carry in the half-dozen bags of groceries he'd bought, from the 24-hr supermarket, which he'd walked all the way to and from because there weren't any streetcars. Also he'd apparently braved a crazy racist man who was hanging around in the parking lot.
Needless to say he is now being praised and coddled and given assorted hot drinks.
Update, Dec 18th - unfortunately he now has a nasty case of the 'flu; although his fever seems to be going down, I'm not sure we'll be attending Saturday's xmas party :(
