I'd vote allergies, fwiw. I think of allergies as doing a general swelling thing, anyway.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

What is even happening?
Like Theo, I think it could be from allergies, Jesse. If you don't have a fever (or if you have a lowgrade fever) I'd bet it is from allergies. Allergies are when your immune system decides to be a drama queen.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hope Allyson and all her neighbors are safe this morning. I haven't seen any news on the fire yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been telling myself all week that my gland swelling is allergy related, Jesse, and so far it seems to be true.

Lee, why are you awake?
Allyson, I hope you and Ruby are safe and got some sleep last night. My news said that the landmarks of Griffith Park were not in danger, and that they were letting everyone who was evacuated last night back to their homes this a.m.
eta: My news is D.C. news, so those anchors might not have a clue.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Best wishes for the LAistas.
And sympathies to Stephanie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So sorry, Stephanie.
I'm not sure why I think it's better if it's allergies than a cold, but there you go. Stupid allergies. Claritin is supposed to be non-drowsy, right? Maybe I'll try that.

Here's hoping that Allyson stays home today. I know it's a new job and all, but very nearly having to evacuate your apartment surely qualifies as special circumstances!
Sympathies, Stephanie! Healing-ma to you and your family!

I'm sorry Stephanie.
You're totally getting the mumps Jesse! Or at least that's what I'm thinking, everytime my glands feel swollen.

I'm not sure why I think it's better if it's allergies than a cold, but there you go.
Because allergies are just your immune system overreacting and going all drama queen, while a cold involves a viral invasion of your body. (WE'RE IN UR BODY, MAKIN U SNIFFL!)
