What's Con Plague, you may ask? See below..

CON PLAGUE IS.......

Sore, swollen, or infected throat from too much yelling, not enough fluids, imbalance of nutrients, off your regular eating/sleeping/meds schedule, if it applies..

basically, VERY similar to strep throat.

if you stick out your tongue, and it's kinda white and rough and nasty, your throat/mouth is swollen, and you feel phlegmy but can't cough it up.


One part apple cider vinegar
TWO parts water.
Gargle. A LOT. when i've got this THIS bad, i try to do it 2-4 times a day. it helps hack up the phlegm, too. the PH level of the dilluted vinegar helps kill the nasty little germies that are infecting the back of your throat.
it's OKAY to swallow this stuff, but it tastes NASTY, and might make you queazy in significant amounts (or might not..) It's HARSH, but it WORKS.

I blew out my left knee the on Thursday,

*wince* YEOWCH! luckily, i've never done that, but, hooooboy, the humidity really killed my knees with arthritis.. *sigh* eventually, my feet and muscles hurt so much that my knees forgot they were in pain.

wait... *hmm* no, that's still bad..

I thank for those leftover glo-stix you left-ed me as I was attempting to fall asleep during the dance/rave. heart I had so much fun with those back at my hotel room... well, I got them thrown at me when I was trying to sleep.

It's like. Eyes closed. Trying to sleep. All of a sudden there's a really bright light. You wake up. You noticed your Kumagoro is missing. Flip out. Kick someone in the stomach. Go back to sleep.

^Something like that. heart

yw!! reminds me of an Otakon trip, years and years ago. friend nikki bought a P-Chan plushie, and decided she had to sleep with it. friend paige, unable to sleep due to SOMEONE snoring that night, thought P-Chan would make a good projectile to throw at the boy's head.. N wakes up, asks, mumbling, "where's P-Chan?" and paige replies: "P-Chan had a flight to catch"

n: "Oh.. okay... zzzz..."
