Ok. Prolly not strep then. I woke up this morning with one side of my throat hurting. Not the searing, swallowing glass-like pain I remember from strep, and no fever. I think the glad on that side might be swollen, but I can't tell.
gargle with listerine. The antiseptic helps with the germs and the carbonation soothes the throat.

I doubt it is strep then. For me, that was a pain that was instantly identifiable. I used to get strep at least once a month. Finally got my tonsils out at 23 and no strep since. Go team painful surgery!
Thoughts are with you and S today, Seanie.
Got it, Vortex. Thanks.
Maybe I should get my tonsils out.
oh, and use the nasty original flavor. I know, but it works. everytime I feel a
tingle
I'm at it with the listerine. I HATE sore throats.

It hurt like whoa after the surgery and was a hell of a recovery for nearly a month but I haven't had strep in over a decade now. I also don't know if my post-op experience was unusual either.
You would get ice cream, or so television leads me to believe. Go for it!
Lots of health ~ma to S and Sean.
The students come back one week from today. Where the HELL did my summer go?
{{Sean & S}} Quick healing~ma.
And, continued ~ma and hugs and such for Bev and Calli.
I am wearing a nifty new top today. I like it.
And, I have iced coffee which I also like.
That is all.
IT BLINKS!!! It says on the brim, "If the tiara fits, wear it." I might have to get Empress embroidered on the back. And get a matching shirt. And new shoes.
Wow.
I have the shoes! I am wearing pink high-top sneakers with rhinestones on them Right Now, aifg.
In less fun news, the US/UK Really Great Approach To Foreign Policy of cheering on the bombing of Lebanon seems to be bearing fruit. 21 people arrested today in connection with a terrorist plot to blow up civilian planes flying from Heathrow to the US.
Fantastic.
I'm flying to Cairo and thence to Bangkok in 5 days. Presently Heathrow is in utter chaos and flights are being cancelled right, left and centre.
Fanfuckingtastic. Yeah. Because increased incidence of terrorist attacks? Wow. Totally couldn't have seen that coming as a result of this. No way. Well, you know, unless you
had a frigging brain.

I cannot become Canadian too soon. ijs.
Fay, when I heard that news this morning, you were the first person I thought of, because I couldn't remember how soon you were leaving England for Parts Yonder. Five days, you say? Ack.
ION, I have never quite woken up today, and I'm beginning to think that I was a little stupid in the timing of taking an Ambien within a couple hours of drinking beer and tequila.
I slept really well, though....
