All red, no white spots. Phooey, I thought. If it was strep, it could easily be solved, and then I wouldn't have to wonder what the hell happened that made my throat so sore. So, I stared in the mirror awhile longer. Definately no white spots.

I don't know what happened next. I just have been in and out of reality, trying to block out the pain. It's gotten so sore that, upon taking a deep breath, I can feel the little dangly thing be irritated. Now that's sore/sensitive! Not the best way to be living.

I'm just so surprised, because for what seems like nearly 3 years, I haven't been sick. I mean, physically sick. I know I've been emotionally/mentally sick, but that's not the topic for today. How come I get sick two times in a row? This just strikes me as odd, that's all.

So, now I'm just trying to think of things to do to distract me from the pain. It's just so odd. Silence. Usually, I'm talking. Sometimes I even talk out the entry as I write it... so this is just painful. Not just physically, but mentally too. My livelihood is talking. Ask anyone that's been around me for 5 minutes, they know I like to talk. I take that back, I love to talk.

This is like a bad Twilight Zone made especially for me. :( Boo-hoo.
