Urg. I hate being sick. I have strep throat or something similar and it SUCKS! Although I did buy sore throat tea today and it's not nearly as stale as the old stuff we had, so it seems to help.

Right now my throat isn't too sore, but last night it was absolute agony to swallow. The only problem with my throat not being ridiculously sore, is that now my attention can be diverted to my tongue. All my tastebuds are sore. It feels like I've got a million little blisters on my tongue. It also sucks. Especially since I tend to move my tongue around a good deal. There's also some really sore spots arond my tongue ring, where the barbell goes in, so whenever that moves it pushes against things and makes them hurt more. Grrrrrr. DOWN WITH GERMS!

So I didn't go to work today. Well, I went, but only so that I could drop off a lesson plan for this Saturday and so I could pick up my paycheck. I worked 34 hours this last pay period, so it was a nice fat one. Except that they missed 3 hours on it, so it was only for 31 hours, but I'm getting back pay for the three they missed so it's all good.

Then after I went to the gym I went to the U and picked up a registration guide and calendar and whatnot. It's a GOOD thing I did because my registration starts on June 7. It would have been REALLY bad if i'd missed it. Oh man. That would have been rather scary.

So once I was done at the U and FINALLY got out of there (parking is so much more confusing when you can't park in the art parkade anymore) I went to the bank and then to the drug store for my tea. Speaking of which is still steeping on the counter and is probably VERY strong by now. And cold most likely.. So I think I will go rescue it.

So the tea is only a little bit cold, but seeing as my tongue is super sensitive to heat, that's just fine. Hmmm, I have a super sensitive tongue AND nose. Interesting. Maybe that's why I can never speak properly and go all dyslexic and whatnot.. too much brain power going to my nose and tongue..

Mmmmmmmmmmm... I smell like boy. Well, my pants and sweater do. It's going to get reeeeeeeeeeeally annoying after a couple days though. For Hal and mum it's fine cause they can't really smell it, (Hali can only smell it if she sticks her head in the washer when the clothes are still wet) but I'm just about suffocating in it. For now it's nice though.
