Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Finished Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) by Kevin Hearne .

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Oh, good. I won't have to worry about the "H."

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments :-)

I actually finished it in the morning. But my migraine got worse and I had to shut the computer down and get back to bed


message 1457: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Aw... Sonia, I feel for you, really. I get terrible migraines, too. Not everyone can take the different medications that are out there. It doesn't work on me all the time, either. Ugh.


message 1458: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Yeah, the meds didn't worked out as well today.. I guess is time to change them again... plus the weather is a bit unstable... that can have something to do it too.

On a happier note, SWAT is starting on TV, so, I decided to share the uniform :)

message 1460: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 15159 comments Yes, Sonia, I can do everything right and eat no trigger foods... and then the barometric pressure changes with the weather and I get a horrific migraine. **sigh**
