These is My Words was my weekend splurge. Sometimes I think I just buy books to use as blankies -- for comfort. That's what this purchase was, for sure. After an 8-day migraine, I was sorely in need of a blankie. And, I have another damned migraine, today. See, this is why I hate spring!! :)
ReplyDeleteNancy - I'm all about owning books for comfort. I'm surrounded by comfort. My floors are sagging but they're comfortable. :)
ReplyDeleteAn 8-day migraine?! Yikes! I had a killer headache the other day and figured it was due to the change in the weather, but I can't imagine suffering with that for 8 days. I hope you're feeling better today.
Yeah, 8 days. Then, I had 2 days off and got another. David has a sinus infection and Will's fighting headaches, too. We are not fans of spring. But . . . it's really pretty. I need to go photograph the dogwoods and wisteria, before they disappear.
ReplyDeleteNancy - I was going to get out and take some pix of the forsythia and daffs, but I've got a spring cold - not allergies! Ugh. I hate being sick. Hope you're migraine-free at this point.
