Sometimes the swollen glands are the first symptom of being more sick, but sometimes your (well, my) body can fight it off and the glands are all I get.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The BF is off in Las Vegas at a new model launch for Lexus. He called to tell me we LOVE Lexus now. Why? Because at the Cadillac launch last week, they gave him an engraved pen. Nice, if you like a pen that says "Cadillac" on it. You know what Lexus gave all the journalists at the launch? An iPod Nano. Suh-weet.

bon bon, despite my desire to make a smart-ass comment about the potential cause of your swollen lymph nodes, Hec is right -- your body is fighting off an infection.
Or -- and this is common when springtime and all its attendant pollen and other allergens roll around -- your body isn't fighting off an infection, per se, not like a virus; your body could be, essentially, overreacting to the onslaught of springtime allergens.

That would be me. My lymph nodes stay pretty much permanently swollen during allergy season, 'cause my immune system's all "OH NOES POLLEN! AMASS THE TROOPS ALONG THE SINUS BORDER!!!"

Really? My immune system is much more "BITCH! I *KNOW* I TOLD YOU TO STAY INSIDE UNTIL JULY!!! NOW YOU WILL SUFFER FOR DISOBEYING ME!!!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It has (just) occured to me that krav is the perfect place to spread a cold or its ilk. I punch an infected person in the face, and then I punch a healthy person next round.
Ick.
But I'm pretty sure that's not what happened to you, bon.

That is so sweet! I have got to get a job that comes with swag. You have no idea how exciting it was for me the one year I was a vendor contact, so I got free mugs and candy and shit.

Heh. I had so many coffee mugs I finally had to clear them all out of the cupboard, they were taking it over. What I liked best was being taken out to lunch or dinner at fancy restaurants where I wouldn't normally eat. Part of it was the food, part of it was being able to take a long lunch on the company clock.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Why is Blue Mountain coffee so damn good? I bought some randomly yesterday, because it was there and it hardly every is. Not only does it taste amazingly good, I actualy feel better than I have in days.
Weird.
