I don't have time to be sick...

It's the first day of the term and one of the most inconvenient days for me to be gone, especially since my boss is on vacation. However, I started getting a sore throat last night and felt like I was drowning in phlem. Today my throat is so sore and swollen I can hardly swallow. Work is going to have to do without me. I'm going to try to get a drs apt.
Bleck. Miserable!
