Big Grapefruit

It seems everyone at school is getting sick now, so I'm not surprised that I have the start of a cold. Actually, I was doing quite well until a little girl in ESL put her mouth right up to mine and breathed straight into my nose and mouth Wednesday. Then she started to cough and told me she was sick. Thanks a lot, Jenny. Did you have to love me so much? The library is very cold these day too and so is my apartment which doesn't help.

That's why I headed straight to the little grocery store, Sun Market, to buy some citrus fruit on my way home, and that's where I found the BIG GRAPEFRUIT. I've seen these before. In fact, I remember having one last year at Bill and Jeanny's. But I hadn't thought of them again until last week while shopping at Nik's Market at the Lido where a woman was buying one; she told me that it was the last one, very delicious, she said, so I was happy to see one in our little market. I paid $1.70 for it, which is really quite a lot, but less expensive and possibly more effective than vitamin C tablets. I also bought a bunch of mandarin oranges for $1 which is a pretty good deal.
