Ow

I've been awake for just over 1.5 hours now (yes that means around 4:30am). I woke up with a sore throat that hurt to swallow.

It has gotten worse since then. Swallow, breathe (haven't dared trying to talk yet) all burn. Ears are plugged and my sinuses feel like they have concrete in them. I have no runny nose or cough but man does it hurt.

Thermometer gives me a very very very low grade fever.

I have to go to work today so i'll be taking soup for lunch and maybe take the popsicles that are in my freezer as well so I have something cool for my throat throughout the day.

As soon as I get the nerve I'm going to call the doctor and see if she can phone in something for me.

and because i've been up for so long

I share this with my friends:

it's got links to videos of all kinds of Christmas specials - INCLUDING THE RARE STAR WARS ONE!

(no subject)

Perhaps taking that horrid orange DayQuil then following it up with a Bomb pop was not the wisest of flavor combination choices.

Excuse me while I go lick the pavement outside to get the taste out of my mouth.

meds achieved

Managed to finally get a live person at my GP's office only 35 minutes after they opened (prior to that I kept getting their answering service).

Gave my symptoms. I either have the flu or strep. Either way the Zpak she prescribed should boot it out of my system.

I got ice cream when I picked up my meds and I think todays dinner will be nothing but twice churned french vanilla.

I fully intend to go to bed early.

Oh... Sabriel, package went in the mail today. They said 3-5 days.
