I gave up today and phoned the doctor. So, sue me, I worry about this sort of thing if I can't see, feel (or in this case, hear) any improvement in a week and I'd hit that time frame now and I just feel like death on a stick. So I phoned the doctor, got an appointment with the shiny evening surgery, and then spent a day in Dundee as part of my ongoing attempt to Look A Bit More Like A Human. Quite a good day with Katie, doing Girly Type Stuff.

Yeah. All good. I meandered to the evening surgery and got me seen to by a doctor. She, after a wee bit of poking around, declared I had a 'nasty virus' and laryngitus. I assumed this was a posh celebrity disease that singers got but apparently not. NHS Direct informs me this will apparently go on for weeks. I can't sound this manky and croaky for weeks! I have to talk to people! I get actively penalised if I don't! *flails*

I also feel a bit daft having gone to the doctors for what is essentially a non-illness. Ho hum. I feel like crap and next time I know what to look out for. But it hurts and my chest hurts and I am very good at feeling sorry for myself. In order to properly feel sorry for myself, I'm going to spend all day in my pajamas and do my dissertation reading because I am SO BEHIND that it isn't funny.

HOWEVER. Because I am crazy and because I want to wear this sodding ballgown this June, I'm going to the Graduation Ball tomorrow. BUT COLLEEN YOU ARE NOT GRADUATING. (Oh, don't shout, I can't shout back.) Well, no, I'm not, but I have volunteered to run the cloakroom for two hours. Yes, I have work in the morning, yes, I am ill, but, well. I'm determined to try New Stuff this summer and actually be interesting and stuff. Plus I know a few people who'll be there, so it'll be fun. And if not, well, I'm doing the first two hours so I can sod off early. :-)

Now though, bed. I had to get up early this morning to let the washing machine repairman in. Don't ask. It is a ridiculously long story even by my standards.

Yay ball! There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to a graduation ball when you're not graduating ... I have spent the last term being in finalist's photos and whatnot, despite not being one. Though I suppose it's fairly different, what with all (?) your degrees being 4 years, and only some of ours.

Don't feel daft for going to the doctor, at least now you know that you just have to pamper yourself where possible and wait for the nastyness to go away. *hugs*

Viruses suck! I'm so sorry that's what you've got. There isn't really any medicine to make it go away, but you *can* treat the symptoms. Menthol cough drops, lots of Tylenol for the achiness, and warm beverage (laced with brandy when I can get it) are pretty much my regime for viruses. *hugs*

There's nothing self-pitying about not liking having a virus.
Hope it gets better soon honey.
