quillpunk | books, books, and more books (and some sickness) (Reply)

I got more money than I expected from various relatives over the holidays and in the end, I successfully bought 13 books from my wishlist! (They're paperbacks, that's why I couldn't buy more. Like, these are all self-published through Amazon and unavailable anywhere else, and I refuse to use kindle, so... paperbacks it is.) In fact, I picked them up today and after the morning I had, this is awesome.

So this morning I woke up because my head hurt. I took meds for that, spent an hour turning in bed without the headache receding, and then threw up.

I haven't thrown up in years, not since surgery. (TV lies to you. Sometimes morphine just makes you throw up.) I am wildly unhappy with this but silver lining; because I was up taking meds I wasn't wearing my retainer when things went wrong.

Anyway, I haven't thrown up again, the headache is mildly better, and now I'm just lazying about trying to figure out if the soda I put in the fridge has gotten cold yet. Also I'm reading A DUKE FOR A LADY—which isn't one of the books I bought, it's from the library and the loan expires next week. So. Gotta get on that first.

Anyway, I hope you're having a better day than me. 😅
