I had to stay home from work sick today with the dreaded flu. The flu stuff started in the middle of the night last night, but this morning I also awoke to a brand new horror. Apparently I was snoring so hard last night that it made my uvula swell up to a ginormous size. Ugh. It feels like there is a ping pong ball lodged in my throat, and it’s not comfortable. Trust. Now I have all these weird fears of doing something stupid like trying to actually swallow my uvula in my sleep. I’m not sure what would happen with that, but whatever it is, it can’t be good.
UPDATE: OMG My mom just called me on the phone and I can’t even talk right. I hope this crap is gone by tomorrow. Stupid snoring.

Don’t swallow it! I’ve never heard of a person passing their own uvula, but I imagine it is not pleasant.
