There's always a plus side

I feel horrid. My throat feels roughly as if I've attempted to swallow half a dozen razor blades. If I speak it's at a whisper. I've downed about 4 lbs. of cough drops, giving me heartburn and making my stomach sick to boot. When I manage to swallow, I’m pretty sure I’m drinking my own blood.
There is no amount of honey imbued lemon tea or disgusting hot salty water that brings me relief. I've woken at 3 am for the last 3 nights in order to try to swallow 4 more aspirin and savor yet another cough drop, hoping as I open the wrapper, that I don't choke on it when I finally do fall back in exhaustion. This is the worst kind of sick I’ve ever been and I’ve never had a sore throat for longer than 6 hours and certainly not one that a couple of aspirin didn't fade into a memory. I am starting to think I inhaled some sort of chemical that burned or maybe, too many of "J's" night time farts. I would slit my own throat, if it didn't already feel like I had.

I am in misery.

On the plus side, my nose isn't running. I just hate that.

So Long Astoria!

Damn the amount of crap one has to go through to use the "new" blogger. 3 Emails 2 pages and one reset password later I finally gained access. I'll probably forget the password by tomorrow though and have to do it all again.
In other news, "J" surprised me with a trip for valentines day. We had a great weekend on the coast. A beautiful view from our little apartment on the beach AND got to go up to Astoria! Whoo Hoo Astoria!
I got to see the Goonies house live and in person. It was so cool to finally see those locations. Astoria has to be the most beautiful town in Oregon.
This is what the house looks like now. It's much the same on the outside except the porch has been bumped out a bit and the trim is painted a dark purple. Also the old rickety fence and messy hill has been replaced and there's no more rube goldberg contraptions in the yard (something I think the new owner should have kept) still it was so much fun to be there.

No I did not do the truffle shuffle. Yes I wanted to.

I got pics of the jail the houses, and the flavel house. I also got a pick of "J" at the bowling alley looking out the window that chunk smashes his pizza and drink on.




Then I cam home to a nearly destroyed house as bf's brother is an effin alcoholic slob.
