So it’s been a rather uneventful weekend- I decided that in order to not get spoiled in regards The Last Harry Potter, I should read it ASAP. It therefore made sense to get that out of the way and give up the necessary time to reading it- hang the revision!
So yesterday was spent rather enjoyably curled up in various places in the flat(I found I rotated depending on my mood), and punctuated by many phone calls to Atopy Law Student to discuss the book as we both read it on our respective sides of the city.
I then ended up going out for a friends birthday, and much food was consumed, as well as moderate amounts of alcohol, before I bowed out early on the basis of wanting to come home and sleep (and read a bit more).
This was when things got interesting.
Weirdly- I was fine before- or I thought I was fine at least… but within about half an hour of getting home I felt like death. I felt sick and my eyes were burning… in the end I did actually vomit, which helped slightly, but I was still left with a temperature- shivering and shaking despite being actually boiling hot. So I did what any self-respecting medic does when her mother is on holiday and her sister is a hypochondriac, I rang a friend that could do nothing about it, and wimpered down the phone to them. Surprisingly perhaps, despite a distinct lack of medical literature on the subject, it did actually make me feel better, and I managed to get to sleep afterwards.
This morning I felt a little better- but still not right. I’ve spent much of the afternoon napping, and still feel tired. I guess at least my body is having its little tantrum now and not in three weeks time!

That really sounds awful; hope you’re ok now.

Hope you enjoyed the Harry Potter book. Sometimes, it is good to have an outside influence just take you away from your everyday life.
Live life to the fullest.

Perhaps your Harry Potter had a That’ll Teach You To Read Fun Books Instead of Revising Charm on it?

Now JB- how did you come to that conclusion? perhaps YOU put such a charm on my book?

…which would be quite a feat, seeing as you’re both MUGGLES!
(If I weren’t working tomorrow I’d start re-reading the first book again. Growing up sucks sometimes.)

Lol.. I read it too.. sod revision, HP was fun, but now I am in a HP world and sit on the tube daydreaming that he who shall not be named’s minions are coming to get me.
No, really, I still have unanswered questions about the book and can’t talk to anyone as they.. the slow coaches are still reading it..
