ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!

1.) SORE THROAT - HURTS TO SWALLOW (4 DAYS NOW)
2.) NO WATER FROM THE FAUCETS (I.E. NO SHOWER BEFORE WORK!)
3.) ASSIGNMENT I CANNOT FIGURE OUT (THAT NONE OF THE OTHER, INDIAN, INTERNS CAN EITHER!) - KEEPING ME AT WORK AND AWAY FROM THE DOCTOR!

THAT IS THE SUMMARY OF MY DAY SO FAR. GREAT, HUH?! I THOUGHT THIS LITTLE SORENESS IN MY THROAT WOULD PASS - IT HAS NOT. AND IN A COUNTRY WHERE EVERY DISH IS SPICY -- MEALTIMES ARE KILLING IT! (WHEN I EAT, THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY THROAT BURNS LIKE SALT IN A WOUND.) YES, I AM GOING TO THE DOCTOR AS SOON AS I CAN. I HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE THAT IT WILL CURE ITSELF. TO ADD TO THIS EXCITEMENT, THERE WAS NO WATER THIS MORNING AT MY APARTMENT -- EXTREMELY ODD. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH WATER MY ENTIRE STAY -- UNTIL THIS MORNING. OVER THE SPAN OF 1 1/2 HRS. I KEPT TRYING THE FAUCETS, BUT NOTHING WAS COMING OUT EXCEPT REALLY LOUD, CLANKING SOUNDS. SO, I DID NOT GET TO SHOWER BEFORE WORK - YUCK! I AM OFFICIALLY THE SMELLY LADY. (AND...WE ALL KNOW THAT A HOT SHOWER CAN HELP EASE A SORE THROAT A BIT -- OH WELL, NO HELP FOR ME.)

THIS IS WHAT TAKES THE CAKE -- AFTER GETTING DRESSED FOR WORK AND WASHING MY FACE / BRUSHING MY TEETH WITH BOTTLED WATER!, I CAUGHT ONE OF THE GUYS WHO RUNS THE APARTMENT AND BROUGHT HIM IN MY ROOM TO SHOW HIM THE "NO WATER SITUATION." WELL LOW-AND-BEHOLD -- IT WAS FLOWIN' JUST FINE. UGHHHH! OF STINKIN' COURSE! (I WAS VERY ANNOYED, AND HE PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS NUTS!) ANYWAY, I REALLY WANTED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND SEE ABOUT GETTING MEDICINE FOR MY SORE THROAT BUT I HAVE STILL NOT FINISHED MY ASSIGNMENT FROM YESTERDAY, SO HERE I AM AT WORK - CONFUSED AS EVER. (GUESS I WILL HEAD TO THE DOCTOR IN THE MORNING - SINCE MY BOSS HAS TO HAVE THIS INFO. BY TONIGHT, I WILL PROBABLY BE HERE TILL THE END OF THE WORKDAY AGAIN.)

OH WHAT I WOULDN'T DO FOR SOME HOT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, MY FLUFFY, QUEEN-SIZED BED, 1 JACK D. TO SNUGGLE WITH, AND "NURSE GAY 2" (OR MOM) TO CARE FOR ME. AHHH, THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE!
