Journal Entry:
Up reasonably early to go to the gym with Sofie. I was a little worried because I felt pretty good and I think I deserved a headache - when was it going to show up? The gym was not fun, but I felt pretty good afterwards. Sof and I had coffee, then went shopping - I'm making fajitas and margaritas for dinner tonight.

Back at the house I made salsa so that it could age a bit before dinner. We hung out for a bit then decided to take advantage of the nice weather and walk down through the city to Darling Harbor and maybe see an Imax movie. Sof was still looking for a Christmas present so we went in to a number of shops on the way, and as we got near downtown it started to rain. Ended up abandoning the Darling Harbor idea and went in to a few shops in the city center before catching a taxi back to the house. Spent the rest of the afternoon watching the video of South Park.

Chris got home, and Andy showed up. I made margaritas and chicken fajitas, Sof made guacamole and did most of the chopping. Diner was fantastic and Chris told me I could stay another week or two. After diner Any took off, Sof went to bed, and Chris and I settled down to finish off the final pitcher of margaritas.
