My cold that won’t quit has turned into an earache and a sore throat. Not just a little sore throat, but an “I can’t swallow” sore throat. I called my doctor’s office this morning and after getting the run around and being put on hold three times I was told that they could get me in December 28th. I said “NO!I need to be seen today.” and so on hold I went again. At least they had blaring Christmas music for me to listen to while I waited. Finally they said I could come in at 3:30 today if I didn’t mind seeing a resident. At this point I’d see the crew that cleans the offices. So off in the freezing rain I go.

I am in no mood for Christmas at this point. I just want to curl up in bed. Hopefully they can give me something that will put a stop to this pain.
