ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm sorry about the headache. I hope it goes away soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad about your headache. I had a killer one the very first read-a-thon I did and it made it hard to concentrate. Hope your drugs kick in soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a good nap in. Headaches are the worst, hopefully you'll be feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteSadness! Sending cheerful, healing voodoo your way (said voodoo involves me eating ice cream in your honor. I suffer for you).
ReplyDeleteUgh. I've been dealing with reading while suffering from a headache all morning, as well. Good for you for taking care of yourself and getting some rest. I hope you are enjoying your time reading!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your book!
ReplyDeleteWill you be reading all night? I'm going to try. I just finished four cups of coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your headache's gone. That'll help with your reading.
Congrats on finishing a book! Here's hoping you get in a good night of reading. :)
ReplyDeleteI crashed around 1 am on the Dewey Read-a-Thon. And that was after four cups of coffee at 8:30 pm! Hopefully we can both stay up longer.
ReplyDeleteYum! I wish my husband had brought home pizza. You've done really great! Way to go!
