Waaah.

I came in late to work so I could get extra sleep, hoping it'd help the throat. It didn't really, plus now the coworkers who weren't sick before the holidays have become sick, except for my poor boss who never got well and is going on sick for about 3 weeks. Eek.

I've been reading a bit about home cures for sore throats and cayenne pepper comes up a lot. I like cayenne pepper anyway, so I'm trying some cayenne gargling and seeing if it helps. I'm thankful that, so far anyway, it's only a sore throat and the rest of me feels fine, no stuffiness or unexplainable achyness. If it ramps down instead of up in the next day or two, I'll still consider myself lucky. It's been quite a long time since I've gotten sick at all.
