I best not be getting sick.

I've been dealing with a sore throat all day. Not a scratchy sore throat indicating that it's allergy season. Oh, no.

It's the swollen, achy sore throat that's just >>this side<< of making it painful to swallow and just >>this side<< of an ear ache.

In short, I recognize the signs of something Strep coming my way.

*checks calendar of saints*

*wipes brow*

At least it's not the Feast of Saint Blaise where they bless your throat. Whenever I'd do the ritual I was guaranteed a case of Strep by the end of the day. Guaran-fucking-teed every single time.

(Seriously. Saint Blaise had it in for my ass for some reason or another.)

As it is not the Feast of Saint Blaise, nor is it anywhere near the Feast of Saint Blaise, I suspect that I will manage to kick this.

I will go home and drown myself in hot green tea with honey. *nod-nod-nod*

Urk, I really hope you don't get Strep! In any case, take care of yourself. *fetches more tea*

I hope you don't have Strep, and I hope you feel better soon!

I dunno, I was never a practising Catholic but when I pray to Saint Anthony, it works more times than not. Maybe it's because I was born to Catholic parents? Either that or good old Tony is an ecumenical kind of guy.

St. Blaise Day isn't until, um, February 2nd? Or 3rd? I'm a bit spotty on the saints' days; haven't been Catholic in more than 25 years.


Hope your throat feels better soon.

Hope you're feeling better today.

Yuck. Sounds like what I had most of last week, after a fashion... although at the time I thought I was just getting what you'd had a few weeks back.

Flu season sucks. : ( Hope you feel better soon! *sends virtual chicken soup*
