A cold?
My throat is sore. Well, actually not my throat, but the roof of the back of my mouth. If I pull my tongue as far back as possible and push it to the roof, then that's where it is sore. So not _quite_ the throat.
My eyes feel dry and tired, but this could be because it _is_ dry out (outside temperature below freezing all day).
I also have a headache, but that could be due to a minor stiff neck from having been in a 3" posture collar all night.
So I bought a digital thermometer. It says my temperature (in the mouth) is 97.5F so I'm currently _below_ normal temperature. I've never taken my own temperature before, so I don't know if low temperature is normal for a cold. A google search on "low temperature" and "low oral temperature" doesn't give anything useful.
Blugh.
So I think I have a cold. Probably from wandering around Arisia and playing silly buggers with freezing temperatures in Boston. *sigh*
I don't like taking drugs, but I may need an asprin for this headache :-(
