Hello from the strange world of persistent sinus infections! I’ve not turned the corner yet, but permission to does up on ibuprofin has lifted my spirits no end. Rose is continuing to improve and hoping to take on some shifts at her new job, which is very exciting! Her other ear is now playing up though so I’ve got my fingers crossed that she can pull it off without a second major infection.

I didn’t make it to college again today, which is frustrating. But I’ve had a good day. I had a very good appointment with my psychiatrist, whom I’m still getting to know. We’re on about the 5th appointment now, today is the first time I switched during the session. I’m not sure if she picked it up or not, and it doesn’t really matter. It was good to talk about where my head has been at and she’s a keen listener.

I also got a massive bag of laundry done – including the curtains the cat peed on so I’m pretty proud of myself for that. Did a bit of admin and paperwork, washed my dishes, and I’ve currently got some pear-and-quince paste bubbling away in my slow cooker, which is making the flat smell incredibly delicious.

I’ve been so lucky with the bags of books I borrowed from the library recently, there have been some utter gems, a really good catch! If you’re interested and looking for great YA, SF, or Fantasy to read, check out my newest listings on Goodreads. For those with an interest in multiplicity in literature, The Spiral Labyrinth is gorgeous. How I adore a good book, it takes so much of the sting out of difficult circumstances. My mind flies free in other worlds so real to me I dream about them, live them, they let my heart breathe.

So, yeah, still sick, but in good spirits. More books to read!
