wtf body

Every time I've stayed in apartment by myself on my travels this trip, I've gotten sick.
London shared studio: no problem
London S. Kensington apartment: cold
London shared apartment: no problem
Paris apartment: cold or something
Amsterdam and Madrid shared apartments: no problem
Chile shared house: some but not much problem, pretty good for 6 weeks with kids.
Boston apartment: cold. Well, sniffles today.
Various hotel rooms haven't been a problem.

Well, I had a non-Airbnb apartment in Edinburgh, don't remember getting sick there. Though I was lethargic.

Have you been happier when sharing? Maybe when solo you've been unhappier and your immune system has been correspondingly lower?

Anyway, I'm back in town. Would you be interested in meeting for lunch or dinner? I expect we should have a fair amount to talk about regarding anime, manga, and SF.

Thought of that. Happier... not obviously, esp. with strangers, if friendly ones, but who knows.
I also got sicker this past year in Bloomington, which I attributed to darkness/semi-basement apartment. I'd been by myself the previous 4 years though and done fine, apart from the allergy to April.

I would! Though not immediately due to cold... I went out for a few hours today (yay, got out for sunlight!) and am beat. What's good way to contact you?

*laugh* Yeah, I figured you'd want to wait until you recovered.

I can send you an e-mail to get the ball rolling. Is the address listed on your LJ profile good?
