Stacking the Shelves #189 Sunday Post #186 Sunday Salon #180

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was mostly spent at home trying to heal from all this crud. Last Sunday I went to the doctor and they said secondary bacterial infection. Thursday found me back at the doctor because I wasn't any better and it was my last day of antibiotics. I was prescribed another 10 days of antibiotics, 2 more nasal sprays, and ordered to get out in the sun as long
as we have it for 15-30 minutes a day to boost my immune system. I didn't end up working this week, with still being sick and unsure if I was contagious, so I had more free time than normal. We are hoping to do some hiking this weekend, I am still trying to get all my energy back, but I am ready to get back to my hikes and walks as well.

This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks.

With not having to work this week, I was able to finish 6 books this week. I finished one late last night, so that review will be up on Sunday. Three of the finished books I had been reading for a while. Regardless, it was a pretty good reading week.

  8. My dr. told me in April to sit in the sun for 30 minutes a day to boost my immune system. I live in Florida and the sun is very hot on your skin, especially your head if you sit for that long but I do it.

  14. If I lived on your street I'd bring you homemade chicken soup! I am sorry you are back on meds. Took me 6 weeks once for an infection and the antibiotics changed my tastebuds afterward. Weird.
