Bucket List item crossed off amid a torrent of pain

The migraine that wouldn’t end finally ended after more than three days of torture.

This particular monster was accompanied by a high fever, chills, body aches, exhaustion and a rash, so you know that was fun. M was a saint through the whole ordeal and I was once again reminded how very fortunate I am to have such a compassionate partner.

We did make it to the “After Dark” event at the Harvard Book Store last weekend, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Once the lights went out, ghost stories were shared and then we wandered through the darkened store by flashlight, searching for intriguing tomes. The migraine kicked in about halfway through the event so the ride home was pure misery, but once I emerged from the seventh level of hell, I had a bag full of books to read:

    THIS SOUNDS SO AWESOME!!!! Holy cow what neat, neat things you have to do up in your neck of the woods!!!! I would be all over an event like this!!!! However, I’m SUPER sorry to hear about your migraines. I was just reading about something to help migraines in one of my magazines the other day. I took a photo of the section and texted it to another friend who suffers from debilitating and frequent migraines and asked her if her doc had ever had her tested for this thing. I’ll message it to you via FB.

    Also, no, I have not read any of those books but have heard of the Pretty Monsters and will await your review on Goodreads.
