Breakfast at home by myself: organic plain yogurt with wild huckleberry jam and granola, hot water. Still feeling sick: mostly headaches. Took some aspirin. Began the process to renew my United States passport, which required me to write a paper check—I haven't done that in years. Lunch: rice thread noodle soup with mushroom broth, mushrooms, green chard, 2 eggs, scallions. Cut my hair, showered. Got passport photos taken. It took about 10 minutes to get my "instant" passport photos. The guy at the UPS Store used a dictionary-sized Polaroid camera to take my photo. After a few minutes it spit out my pair of photos and he snipped them out with a special cutter. Afterwards I dropped off plastic grocery bags for recycle at the grocery store and had a late afternoon meal by myself at Ono Hawaiian BBQ (415-681-6388, 1501 Sloat Boulevard, Suite A, San Francisco, California, USA): fried shrimp, steamed white rice, cabbage, macaroni salad, dipping sauce, extra salt, plain water—about $8. Caught up on journaling. Uploaded photos to Flickr, but Flickr Uploadr 3.1.4 crashed on me twice, so I restarted the computer and tried again—same problem. Gave up for now. Stretches. Sore throat seems to be not as bad as this morning, cough lingering but also not as bad. I think this cold is going away.
