Pharyngitis

My pharynx would rather not contribute today. I don't really know what a sore throat looks like but it feels like coarse paper is rolled up in my throat, on top of that, it has been inflated just a bit making the passageway to my lungs just a little smaller. The aching I feel goes way past my throat...all the way to the ears.

I guess I'm whining a bit.

There used to be a blessing of the throat ceremony at mass. It fell on the Feast Day of St. Blaise, February 3.

I missed it this year...in the meantime the tea is brewing in the kitchen with honey and lemon nearby.
