So I have allergies and a dry irritating sore throat right now and I guess it was a good time to experiment with lots of medicine and home remedies and torture myself. Of course, I did the tea with lemon and honey thing, but I also added sugar and later found out that actually makes your throat worse and not to have sugar (which is weird since honey has sugar). I tried Theraflu and ate a shitload of oranges...Theraflu tastes TERRIBLE and it only worked when I was drinking it. I had to literally drink it like I was taking shots. You're supposed to drink it every 6 hours, but I think one glass of that is enough torture for me to handle. Then I read that lemon also actually dries your throat more so I have been really taking lots of wrong turns. No more lemons! At night I even wrapped a scarf around my neck and went to sleep like that...When I woke up, I felt more sicker...

I went to the ginger with honey route and it works kinda well and I like feeling the burn from the ginger at my tonsils (no sarcasm). However, the next "medicine" has worked the best for me, which is drinking pickle brine! It instantly removes irritation in my throat. I don't have regular pickles so I  just used green chili pickly brine and put it into my ramen, drank the soup and that irritation went away. This chili isn't hot for me at all so it felt pretty nice. It doesn't permanently cure it though...It's just temporary relief. I'm just hoping if I take enough of this stuff, it'll eventually totally disappear. Well, I ran out of soup ramen and needed more...Too bad they don't sell pickle brine alone. My mom also pickles tomato (it's actually pretty good with hot dogs) and I took the brine from that and warmed it up since this website said to...and OMG I sniffed some of it and that was really strong. I had to hold my breath and drink it, but I didn't mind the taste. I used to eat pickles alone when I was a kid! Although, this doesn't seem like a solution I could do all day.

Right now I'm just drinking ginger and honey and I'm probably going to try to keep putting chili pickle brine into my soup as much as possible. Hmmm...I sound like a freakin' weirdo haha...But I really can't stand this stupid sickness...I'm about to try the cayenne pepper and this other garlic idea. Wish me luck.

Okay, so my mom to made me (mwahaha) some clear broth soup with pickled chili with the brine and minced garlic so I could just sip on it all day and I gargled the cayenne pepper in saline water mix and voila! I feel 98% cured. I still got allergies...But yea, we'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Checking my page again and all the entries are squished!
What the hell...zzz :(

Don't they realize that by making new technology smaller and smaller, it's easier to lose? Maybe that's part of the whole marketing scheme. If people lose it, they'll buy it again... because they need it. I'm just bitter because I lost my USB drive for the kabillionth time...and for animation class nonetheless. Umm..now for a random pic:
