I've been drinking hot water, honey and lemon, cooled with a splash of grape juice.  I'm debating whether to add rum to the mix now that it's evening.  Supposed to be good for a throat, right?  I went to the Dr, (not my usual dr) and explained to her that I hadn't slept much last night because my throat was closing in and I felt as though I couldn't breath, but she couldn't give me anything.  The initial test said it was likely not strep throat, so she said pretty much what one might expect: "It's probably something viral.  Get lots of rest, fluids, gargle with salt water."  I came home and gargled, and later on in the afternoon managed to get some sleep on the couch. 

Other than that, I read "Persuasion" (Jane Austen) until my ebook battery was exhausted, which means most of the time between 8:30AM and 3:30PM - I even took it to the Dr.'s office to help me wait.  So, most of seven hours, not too bad for a battery.

The medical practice I go to has just had three new doctors join, all women, and they have big posters in the lobby with pictures of each.  One of them is a full-length shot and she's wearing shorts, and, if I remember correctly, turning her leg as though to show it off.  She'll get all the new patients. ;)

I made myself a pretty decent chicken soup today, using the low-sodium gluten free chicken stock in a box that I bought the other day and a breast of chicken, shaved into quite thin slices while it was still frozen, a carrot, a stick of celery, some leftover rice and potato, a little salt, pepper and paprika.

And now I'm making black mustard chicken...  I hope there'll be enough left over that I can use some in chicken soup tomorrow.
