Well, I've made very little progress on Ring of Lies since last week by I did manage some progress on my throat infection.  I'm now to the point of not eating and barely managing liquids so hey, there's some progress!  I broke down and went to the doctor yesterday and surprise, I don't have strep but my neck, throat, and tongue are swollen and I have a lovely but anonymous infection.  I'm popping the antibiotics like clockwork and choking down advil but I have yet to see any improvement, if possible, it's worse.

It's not really like me to whine; I had natural childbirth by choice so pain doesn't get to me, usually.  This, however, is awful and on top of it all, I can't get my book done and that deadline is closer and closer.  I managed to rewrite chapter 9; scene 1 but that's it and I don't know where to go with it cause my brain is fried and my ear is throbbing. 

All complaining aside, I'm going to finish Ring of Lies this week, even if it kills me; which at the moment is a distinct possibility
