Imagine Swallowing Molten Lava

[puppetmaker]

And you have some idea how my throat feels right now. I am running a fever, my nose is very slightly stuffy, my neck hurts and is very stiff and my throat is making me regret each and every time I swallow something.

The timing on this really stinks because I have a lot to do this week getting ready for Ariel’s Senior Prom, her graduation, and her graduation party on Saturday. I can say that my kitchen is in great shape. Now I have to get a few more rooms ready.

Caroline has her last week of kindergarten. Her original teacher is back from maternity leave and Caroline is very excited in seeing her again. Thursday and Friday are half days so I have less time than I think I have in terms cleaning.

Peter is busy writing and trying to clear the decks so he can take a weekend off. He had a very nice Father’s Day yesterday. We sat down and watched the first two episodes of Merlin (the BBC version) and it reminds me a lot of the Robin Hood that was done in England recently. Peter calls it Camelot 90210 and I don’t think he is too far off. Ariel really likes it a lot and I think she is the target audience for this one.

I am thinking that a visit to the Doctor is in the cards for me today. I want to make sure this is not strep throat. If it is viral, then I will be uncomfortable for a couple of days and then it should be all over.

I am grateful for things that make it not feel like I am swallowing hot lava.

Ow! There's a viral lava-sore-throat bug going around work right now...here's hoping it's that and not nasty strep!

I just want it to go away right now. I like swallowing.

I'm betting virus but I need to have it checked out since I was at the school on Friday and this showed up on Sunday.

I hope you feel better

Thanks. I hope so too. I am a very bad sick person

You don't want to be a good sick person, is the thing. That would imply you're very experienced at it.

Wow, kindergarten almost over... that's got to be very bittersweet.

I hope you feel well soon. :-( Sore throats are the worst.

I had to inform Caroline that she was going to have a different teacher next year and she didn't like the concept. But I am sure she'll have a good one.

I can deal with the sore throat for the most part. It's the fever that is kicking my kister.

Too bad no one can massage the throat. (Except maybe nannites.)

Well and that one eskimo woman in the Simpsons' Movie

It always seems to happen at the busiest times... I hope it heals just as fast...

Thanks. Me too.

Thank you. With any good luck, it will be fast and gone before I know it.

Owies!

I got the creeping crud just in time for graduation misery here. I also lost my voice for three days, which was pure evil indeed.
Maybe it is CAUSED by the daughter-has-grown-up-graduation miseries?

Hugs, try some hot milk and water with some honey, it's my grandma's favorite recipe for sore throats and it helps so much.
