nausicaa83Yesterday the visit with the ENT doctor (by the way, greatest acronym ever, I could definitely see him as a big ass tree) went great. The otitis is gone, my ears are fine, and we did all the hearing exams and my results were off the scale! I'm blind as a bat, but my hearing has always been more than amazing, and I've used it more than once to spook my friends. Let's face it, if I had superpowers, I would be a supervillain.
That being said, I feel like my body is desperately trying to tell me to take a break. Yesterday I got a rash on my face from the aerosol medicine (the dentist didn't even think it was possible), and my ribs and legs hurt. Plus I have random headaches and vertigo. When I told my therapist on the phone, she shouted at me to go back to bed. Luckly I have the whole weekend free, a full pantry, and a Netflix account. I can finally devote all my energies to fight the stupid tracheitis and get my body back in top conditions! Plus it's like the month of November outside, so I'm not missing much. :D
Between yesterday and the day before yesterday I finished another book, by reading it in doctors' waiting rooms. All hail whoever invented the e-reader! I once read a whole magazine about testicle cancer because there was literally nothing else to do while waiting for my doctor.
For the "The First Book by a Favourite Author" square I went with Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street. It's her first published novel (after a volume of poems) and she wrote it while in college, so it counts! God, these squares are getting harder and harder to fill.
I haven't read anything else by her, but she fits the "favourite author" category perfectly, because I fell in love with her writing two pages in. It's written in a series of vignettes, and it's the story of young Esperanza, a Latino girl who grows up in Chicago in a Latino neighbourhood. She talks about her friends, relatives, neighbours, funny stories and terrible stories, all while she yearns to leave Mango Street behind, and find a house of her own.
It's a stunning piece of literature, and I can't wait to read more from this author.
And now bed because my eyes are starting to feel funny, and my head already feels two sizes too large.
