Irrefutable Evidence

1. The doctor at Urgent Care takes one look at your throat and says, "Ummm...I'm not even going to bother culturing that. Eeeeeew!" (yes, I got an "Eeeewww!" from a Real Doctor - how gross does that mean my throat is?)
2. You may prefer to spit into a small paper cup, as though you had suddenly taken up chewing tabacco, instead of swallowing.
3. Your tonsils appear to be growing towards each other, sort of the reverse of what Alaska and Japan are doing due to global warming.
   
4. Turning your entire body instead of your neck sounds perfectly reasonable.
   
5. You have the notion that all of your joints may or may not be filled with tiny fragments of glass.
6. Fever-induced dreams you've had included activities such as having a dance-off while seated and singing "Taxman" by the Beatles. (When singing in public is only slightly less mortifying than, say, peeing, in public.)
7. After forgoing solids for a couple of days, you a) give the guy at Blenders both a $20.00 and a $1.00 bill for a $6.78 purchase, realize what you're doing and b) almost tip him a $10.00 bill. Almost.
8. Cannot manage to swallow your shake from Blenders, except to down the oral steroids that the doctor prescribed after seeing your disgusting Alaska-meets-Japan tonsils and lymph nodes.
9. Dizziness forces you to sit down on a couch at the office you're subbing in for, and you stay there for an hour. Possibly asleep.
   
10. Yawning is pure, unadulterated torture that brings tears to your eyes.
    
11. Writing pointless lists like this one. My apologies.
