Dear Blog,
There's been an outbreak of the swine flu in Mexico City. When I got to work this morning, I found out that they had suspended classes in all schools and universities. It's craziness. On my way home, I saw lots of people walking around with masks on too. They even said that classes might be cancelled for a while. Sixty people have died in Mexico (57 of them in Mexico City). I am probably not a high risk because I don't take public transportation, and no one in my school has gotten it. I'm sure if Gretchen were here, she would have already caught it. (In reality, she wouldn't have caught it, but she would think she had all the symptoms. She thought she had SARS.) I don't have it, but I'm certainly going to be careful.
Next week, I am going to the U.S., so Ihope I don't bring the swine flu to South Carolina. Apparently, they've already had 7 combined cases or something in California and Texas, but no one has died. I think that's what I read.
I'll keep you updated on the crisis.
Anyway, when I got home, I took Monty on a long walk and bought some fresh flowers. Then, I cleaned the entire apartment. I'm eating some corn soup that I made yesterday, and I think I'll continue reading Twilight.
Love you,
Jenny en la ciudad

swine flu is for pigs, man! jenny, mar and i talked earlier and we agreed that you need a mask, disinfectant wipes, and plenty of airborne if your going to be on a plane. seriously -- you may giggle at the thought of the mask but it's very important!
p.s. i like your rainman weekend routines.
