What do you do for a badly sore throat again?

When this cold started, it started as an uncomfortable tickle in the back of my throat. Then that went away and I just had some stuffiness. That was four days or so ago. But I just woke up with a hurts-so-bad-to-swallow-I-can't-sleep sore throat. Owie. It's been a long time since I've been sick. Last January, actually. And it was just mucous-y, sinus fun. 10 billion Sudafed later and I was okay. Not so much this time.

I want to cough so badly, but am afraid it'll just tear my throat up some more. I spent yesterday constantly coughing. Yuck.

I even salt-hot-water-gargled which makes me gag.

I went to bed late. Sunday nights are so evil because you need to go to bed early for work, but reallyreallyreally don't wanna. I ended up getting to sleep around midnight. I have to be up at 6:30, and certainly shouldn't be awake now. But my throat hurts. Wah.

Just want to say, though, thank GOD for [livejournal.com profile] brabble. Sarah came by yesterday evening and coaxed me into getting dressed and drove me to the store so we could buy supplies. I was in a pretty pathetic state and didn't want to leave my cave ever. Thank you again, Sarah. You rule.

When I was trying to go to sleep earlier, I had that panicked "omg we have to go to sleep!!" wiredness that ensures that the one thing you won't be doing is peacefully falling asleep. And now I have that 'omg it's fucking 4:30am, what are you doing up, go to sleep! go to sleep! you have to be up in 2 hours!' panic that isn't helping. Tomorrow is going to suck. Between my cold and general feeling of suck, the lack of sleep is going to be really bad.

Eeeek. I am so going to bed at 8:30 tonight.
