What a night

[christopher575]

My throat is kinda swollen. Specifically, the area around my uvula. It'll feel like I need to hawk a loogie, but all that really happens is that I'll choke on my uvula instead. Like, there was nothing there in the first place, it just feels like there is. It's nasty.

So I woke up several times because of that throughout the night, and also had nightmares about snakes.

So glad I can work from home. I definitely didn't have that "up and at 'em" feeling when my alarm went off.

next time try a warm salt water gargle. That can often help.

Thank you, will do. I kept drinking water trying to get it wet and less sticky (it would fold over and stick all weird) and it didn't seem to help much.

Yeah, it's a crappy feeling. I start the warm salt water gargles the moment I feel a sore throat coming on. When it feels like my throat is trying to stick to itself, that's when I really step it up.

Also, I personally think it's gross, but a tablespoon of honey can help. I don't like honey (I know, what's wrong with me?)
