feeling better

Yesterday was horrific, couldn't speak or eat or do anything. Was in awful pain, so much so that I couldn't bear to take the medicine most of the time as it's fizzy and stings. But today am much more chirpy, even managing to break out of the house for a couple of hours (to go to the hospital). I took in a Subway sandwich on the way home and regretted it bitterly as my throat felt like it was on fire again.

Finished reading The Diary of a Provincial Lady and have made significant inroads on next installment, but decided to take a break as I am starting to think and write just like her. By which I mean missing out all pronouns and capitalising words Like This, isn't that Strange. It puts an interesting, often more funny, spin on things in the book, but is mentally distressing and hard on the brain. Besides, if you're not used to it (for example in emails or on msn) it sounds slightly bizarre. I wrote a official letter in provincial-lady-shorthand before realising it made me sound like a fob who can't speak English properly. I'm reading 'The Convenient Marriage' instead, by Georgette Heyer. Mr C is attempting to read 'April Lady' on my recommendation, but I fear he won't get very far.
