When you are suffering from a post-nasal drip it is truly amazing how much air you can swallow as part of the process of trying to get that stuff away from the back of your throat.

It is also truly amazing how handy having left the glass you were using to drink orange juice from on your desk, rather than having put it in the sink, can be, since the evacuation of all that air from your digestive tract will occasionally lead the rest of the smooth muscles to places you wouldn't ordinarily want them to go and you're not necessarily fast enough to make it to the loo first.

So much for a night of rejuvenating and restful sleep. I think I'm gonna sack out on the couch and call in sick tomorrow, even if I don't have a fever.

Awake, from second nap of the day.

Feverish, though fever is small for me (100.something).

Have still got lentil soup on stove but would like some other form of liquid. I have therefore contacted the nearest Thai place and said to bring soup, more soup, tea, bottled tea, more bottled tea, and a token solid appetizer of spiciness, as I have heard that hot peppers contain vitamin C in bodacious amounts.

fun fact: according to Catholic and (I believe) Lutheran doctrine, if you're sick or pregnant, the Lenten fast doesn't apply. I am not pregnant unless I missed the star in the East, but I am sick, so I'll deal with the teas.
