Random Friday Afternoon Blog

I know all two of the people that read this can’t wait to find out what’s going on with my uvula.  The swelling apparently was not a result of snoring and I really do have some kind of weird sore throat thing going on.  This is self-diagnosis of course, but the couple of times the snoring/uvula thing happened before, it always disappeared within a few hours.  So that can only mean two things:  I am either actually sick, or there is indeed a ping pong ball lodged in my throat. 

 Anyway, I’ve managed to work a grand total of two days this week, and I’m angry about working today.  The part of me that is logical understands that this is a place of biznaz that can’t just shut down because everywhere else in the county is closed, but let’s face it, that part of me is a very very minuscule part of me.  The rest of me is bitter like a petulant child because I don’t feel good and want to be at home in my pj’s and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Is it too much to ask that we close down an entire company so I can get some rest and not have to use any PTO? Do not answer that honestly. I mean that.

Yuck!

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.
