But Rebecca still can't stop biting her tongue.

I didn't catch a cold once all last winter, only to get one now. Yesterday my throat was sore and my voice was a squeaky whisper. The day before that, my nose dripped like a faucet and my ears ached. My tongue has had those tiny sore bumps on it. (What are those called, anyway? Ulcers? Canker sores? I used to know, but know I've forgotten.) I stuffed myself with cough syrup, cough drops, vitamins, and allergy pills, and today I felt better, although I was very groggy this morning, because my allergy pills all but knock me out cold.

I helped train this new girl at work today. She's the second new girl we've hired recently, and I hope there will be several more new hires so we won't be so damn short anymore. (It was very tempting to use hopefully instead of I hope in that sentence. I'm trying to get out of the habit of using that word incorrectly.)

Rebecca won Mod's Choice in the first icontest she ever entered on LJ. Look at her pretty banner!

Congrats on winning the icon contest.

I believe the bumps on the tongue are called swollen taste buds... or at least that's what I've heard them referred to as.

Very nice! I still like the one you did for Return to Oz better though.
