You first realize

you have a sore throat coming all at once. You are sitting there when all of a sudden it hits you that there is a small ache when you swallow. It's been there for a couple of hours now, but this is the first you are conscious of it. Slowly it starts in the back of your throat, and by the next morning you've got a full blown sore throat. I think I'd rather have a hangnail.
Well thats what I feel coming on. It makes me want to stay up all night, so I won't have that nasty realization that today will be miserable when consciousness first registers tomorrow morning.
Perhaps it is a bad omen that I have resorted to writing about my health in only my second blog. Perhaps I shall have to write on the weather in my third.
In this way however, I am really setting myself up for success and this will have nowhere to go but up. Just think that if I wrote amazing blogs for the first while, how much more amazing would the later ones have to be! So I will start from humble beginnings, only hoping that one day, I will be blessed enough to have something interesting, or even insightful to write, and will be articulate enough to convey it. -Adios por la segunda vez
