Here in Italy today's a holiday, but instead of celebrating the Three Wise Men, like in other european countries, we get gifts from the Befana. It's an old lady who flies on a broom and brings candy or coal to kids. We leave stockings for her to fill. I can proudly say I never got a piece of coal in my life, except for when I stole it from my ( Read more... )

Hi everybody! I finally have five minutes of free time to check the computer and write you an entry! I arrived here at my family's place on saturday, and ever since I've been showered with affection by everyone. I'm so relaxed I feel like I can even breathe better. My oldest cousin and I are playing Kingdom Hearts every evening together. I went out ( Read more... )

My aunt is in Sicily visiting her parents, and every day she calls me telling me of wonderful clear skies, and a moon so big and bright the night turned into day. I'm so jealous ( Read more... )

Just came back from the dentist. Everything's fine, the gums have healed properly, and as long as I promise to be careful while brushing my teeth I won't have to go back until next year for my usual check-up. The euphoria hasn't settled in yet because I'm dead tired from the stupid tracheitis, but I can feel it approaching. I'll probably burst into ( Read more... )

Here it is, the promised update! I went to see my doctor this morning, and he was amazing. He prescribed me some drops (which he said were a bland tranquilizer, but I believe were unicorn tears), and I took them right after lunch. Two hours later, my heartrate had dropped to normal, I was breathing at a steady pace, and I was finally hungry again. ( Read more... )
