I Hurt
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
I have not had a cigarette since the year began and I’m getting all antsy. This is not some resolution on my part; I'm having the worst case of sore throat I've ever had. Nodes, actually, which are apparently much more brutal. My throat stings and I'm not even doing anything to my muscles. I can’t swallow anything, including my own spit, without feeling lots and lots and lots of P A I N. Pain at its most base. A pain that is pure and painful.
Almost everything I’ve been ingesting is piping-hot liquid or piping-hot near-liquid, including, fortunately, one of my favorite mushes: beginner’s lugaw. Beginner’s lugaw is regular rice boiled in hot water and topped with rock salt. I love beginner’s lugaw. It tastes so clean and basic. I will have more once I’ve finished this post, although I’ve had so much hot wetness in my mouth that most of my taste buds are fried.
Because of my nicotine-less-ness, I prowled the house earlier this afternoon with Electro, Octopus’ laglag-panty-retro manual SLR that I may possibly call mine after this roll of film. (We might swap SLRs once we figure out their swapability.) Took photos of my grandparents like they were housecats, mostly. I hope the shots come out alright.
My throat really hurts.
