Why a Sore Throat

Here I am after a few dreary days off where I hid from the rain as much as possible and now that I am headed back to work what do I get? A sore throat. I don't look sick.. I don't sound overly sick but I can barely swallow. The question..suck it up and head into work or play the pansy and stay home. Now generally I'm all for staying home if you are sick as I work in a field where nobody wants to share your cold and you earn hate points for spreading it around to the masses. Today however I just can't justify not going in..I just don't feel sick. At least as long as I don't eat or drink or talk. Oh wait...I do a LOT of that at work. hrmmmm

Well I went in anyways. Possibly not the smartest decision in life but it was one of the girls on my watch's last day with us before the watch change so I wanted to be there. I wanted more junk food. Here is the fun part: With a pocket full of Halls and Chloraseptic I headed in. I have never used Chloraseptic before and if you are the same I gotta say right now.. I Heart Chloraseptic spray. Instant relief from a sore throat pain. The only side affect is not being able to feel your tongue either haha.

I bumbled my way through another day of work and now I'm at home trying not to talk and wondering if this potential cold is going to go away and come at me with the vengeance only a bad cold can instate.

I hardly feel that a cold at any time of year is great but one in the spring is just plain mean. Here's a picture of some of the mountains around the area in our chilly and wet spring so far.
