A quick life update, and again, I’m in bed. A few days ago my right ear stopped working properly and it turned out there’s fluid behind my eardrum and I will have to have it cut open in a minor operation to be able to hear properly again. Being German I shouldn’t complain about the healthcare system but finding a doctor was kind of a nightmare, having my insurance cover the whole thing another one and besides the fact I can’t work and concentrate and now have a shitload of work to catch up with, I am on antibiotics, drowsy, nauseous and just generally annoyed. The other day I was joking about it being yet another cheesy life lesson, something like “Don’t ever take your senses for granted.” and to whoever thought I had to learn this lesson, trust me, I have.

In other news, Fashion Week is coming up again next week, and even though I don’t care too much about the actual fashion or the runway shows, I guess it should be fun. Ridiculously overdressed people all over the city, desperately hoping to get their photo taken by as many street style blogs as possible, people fighting over dead-ugly brand tote bags at Bread & Butter and the like, free food and drinks everywhere, random events, fairs and parties… And a nice change of scenery and routines for me, especially after a weekend like this one which I’m going to spend at home with the company of nose spray, antibiotics and my bed.
