My throat hurts so badly right now, I don't know what to do.

Yesterday I woke up with a small, sore spot in the back left of my throat...I figured it would go away eventualy, just part of getting over this cold. It never did. Tonight it started to get worse and to expand. So now, It's most of the back left of my throat. It's mildly irritated from me breathing, but it hurts FAR worse when I cough or swallow. I haven't been able to get to sleep for more than 10-15 minutes at a time tonight I don't know what to do. I need to sleep and I need my throat not to hurt. If I can't sleep and my throat still hurts like this in a few hours, I can't go to work. I have to go to a doctor or something. Dammit, I can't afford to miss work right now. I'm going to be taking most of Wednesday off as it is. What if something is wrong and I can't go to the interview? What am I going to do? It hurts so badly I want to cry but that would only make it worse why the fuck is this happening? Nothing helps...tea, cough drops, water...I can't find any advil or anything like that in the house. All I want to do is sleep and I can't.

I think one of my tonsils is swollen...I can touch the back of my throat and that's what it feels like. The other side doesn't. It doesn't hurt to touch my throat though. Other than the hurting throat and coughing, my body feels fine. Actually, the more I think about it the more it doesn't.

Why is this happening? Why now? I need it all to stop. I need everything to be okay. I don't have paid time off to cover Wednesday as it is, I certainly don't have it to cover two days...I already had to take last Monday off and I only had enough to cover half of that day. I really can't afford to pay for a doctor's appointment this week.

What the hell am I going to do? Someone make it better. *cries*

My throat still hurts in the same spot...but a lot less. I'm trying to decide if I should just go in and deal, or try to go to the doctor.

Hell....well, I have to go in. My resumé is on my work computer. Damned if I'm recreating it at home. *grumbles*
At least talking really isn't huring my throat.

Bad timing. Really.

What she's trying to say is good. But its that whole magical/magickal spelling thing. "Magical" is silly childhood fantasy. Not a perfectly valid spelling of a word.


“Magical thinking” is a psychological term that characterizes a certain stage of our childhood development (around the late preschool age) during which we believe we have control over our environment.

...

That to combat the temptation of magical thinking, we must move toward the practice of magickal living.

The horrible sore spot on my throat is greatly diminished....

...except when I hiccup, dammit.
