Throat update: It kind of hurts to swallow! Before I could trick it into not doing this by downing juice and tea. Now it mostly hurts! I realize this is a typically hypochondriac thing to say, but my strep throat senses are tingling!
I remember one time I had it when I was little and my mom was all whatever it's just a cold and I had to go to a computer show while every time I swallowed the inside of my neck exploded with pain. This is actually my worst memory of childhood.
Also my laptop spontaneously lost its internet connection! I'm going to have to reload Windows as well as everything else. This is kind of a pain. I just got it working so nicely.
For the most part, though, I am thrilled with life.
