Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn. I went out.

Grateful to the people who drove me there and back.

Damn.

I have me some teaching to do tomorrow. Why am I typing?

Last night I had an odd time falling asleep -- my leg would start hurting if I relaxed and/or let it lie still. As long as I was actively tensing it or moving it about, no problem, but just as I would relax enough to start slipping into sleep, it would start sharply aching/cramping.

Eventually painkillers seem to have helped, but weird or what?

The only possible upside to the migraines is the lack of hangovers. I drank a bunch yesterday, and this morning I not only feel fine, but I feel better than most of the mornings of the last week.

I don't know what that's about, but I wonder if it's an indication I should develop a severe drinking habit.

Not as much as last night, though. That was a lot.

ita, does that happen frequently, where if you drink a lot you are hangover free?

I haven't had a hangover since the migraines got crazy--about two years now. Either I wake up with a "normal" migraine, or I wake up feeling just fine, like today.

Though I do wish my mother hadn't called and woken me up. 4 hours of sleep is too little, yet I'm having trouble falling back asleep.

Damn, I drank a lot last night. I even have vague memories of hand-holding.

You're pluralising chunk, though. I fear I'm done for the day.

Rowling's vision supposedly was that each person would enter through the Leaky Cauldron, tap on a brick, gain access to Diagon Alley, then proceed to a platform in a version of King's Cross station and take a train to Hogwarts. Disney figured it would have had to build multiple Leaky Cauldron entrances to cycle in small groups every two minutes. Admission to the attraction envisioned by Rowling would have run north of $800 per person.
