Hangover

We just got back from seeing Hangover. Funny! And having my free birthday burger at Red Robin. Yum! Mandy was so happy to see us come home. We've hardly gone anywhere without her, over the past two years, but it was too hot today. We asked our nice neighbor Freddie to take her out once, while we were gone. Must be what "parents night out" feels like... complete with the sitter.

I've been wondering about this lump in my throat that makes it hard to swallow, that showed up a few days ago. Coincidentally, it's also tender and slightly swollen under my jaw, where the lymph nodes are. I talked to the nurse at Kaiser this afternoon. Not even close to mumps symptoms. She said lots of bugs are going around, that could cause these symptoms. She said to wait awhile, and see if any other symptoms develop. The good news, is my throat feels quite a bit better tonight. It'll be interesting to see how it is Sunday morning.
