After feeling a little better yesterday afternoon, last night was the worst night yet.  I barely slept, maybe 15 minutes at a time, because my throat hurt so badly and even my usual remedies weren't helping.  Ethan managed to sleep through it all, but I'm afraid my coughing kept Jacquelyn up.

My doctor managed to get me in this afternoon to make sure it wasn't strep (which it isn't) and determined it is a particularly nasty upper-respiratory throat virus.  They said I should do what I've been doing, plus stay away from people as long as I have symptoms.

This virus has started to settle in my sinuses.  Do I trade off my horrible throat for sinus headaches?

Laying down now.  Will probably take tomorrow off too.  I can honestly say I have never been this sick for this long in my adult life.
