I experimented this week with not taking my daily Prilosec and only taking another OTC when I felt I needed it for my acid reflux.
The experiment did not go well. *sigh* I couldn’t get to sleep until after 4 a.m. this morning and I’ve had considerable discomfort today. I think I will just have to deal with the possible consequences of long-term use of Prilosec and hope for the best. Sleep deprivation can’t be too good for a body, either.
Anyway, I’ve been messing about with images of Mr. A again. Today I also got my Hobbit annual from Gloucester! I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived this early. It’s chockful of activities, which I admit I am tempted to do–I loved activity books as a child. I used to get a huge one before Christmas each year, filled with connect-the-dots, search-a-word puzzles, riddles, crafts, coloring pages and more. I had the most fun with those books.
However, I shall resist marring the thick, glossy pages of this lovely book.
I admit I have already looked at the pictures of Thorin several times. All I can say, is WOW. The “strong and fearless fighter” has me completely won over. I’d follow this guy anywhere.
But then again, I find his CReAtor endlessly inspiring, magnetic and–beautiful.
the armitage effect 
Oh, I can’t wait!
I find I am learning new things, too, from reading the book. 😀
That new photo floored me too. My copy of the annual should arrive any day now, I’m really looking forward to seeing it properly. 🙂
It’s stunning, isn’t it? My gosh, the intensity that man can project in a still photo. I actually did do some of the book’s puzzles and games–I didn’t write in the book, but I worked through them in my head. 😉 And you will learn some fun facts about each of the dwarves in Thorin’s company.
Thorin is aiming right for my heart.
I must confess I haven’t ordered this one, I’ll probably wait until next month because I’ve splashed out on the LoTN /and 2 RH audiobooks…But it sure sound awesome! How did Servetus put it? We will get merchandised out of our brains or something like that..? 🙂
OH, yes, the merchandising juggernaut is indeed underway. 😀
