My friend who I accidentally infected with tonsillitis in 2010 when I was first sick, and happened to be round for a cuppa on the weekend, phoned to cancel hanging out today sounding like she swallowed a cheese grater.

[Cat that knocked over the plants being pinned with a YOU caption]

Ugghhh I don't want to look in my throat but it's clenching tight and feels like there's crushed glass in it and the depression I only get when I'm triggered by tonsillitis symptoms is hitting. Fucking miserable existence dreading this fucking thing that I get every other month. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.

#it's funny because her name is Cat.#anyway she's an unfortunate link in a Pandemic chain reaction #i got swine flu kissing some guy called Star on the beach in 2009 #then got long swine flu (i realise now)#and this flared up my propensity to catch tonsillitis I'd had as a little kid #i got a horrible bout in 2010 and gave it to my shit boyfriend who had a typewriter for the aesthetic #because he wanted to be all manly and said he would kiss me because he wasnt scared of it #and he could sleep off any illness #reader he got sick for weeks and was flabbergasted when i told him i warned him how bad it was #anyway months later at christmas i didn't think i could possibly still be infectious #and hugged my friends a lot #and Cat who also had a crap throat based immune system immediately came down with it #and suffered as aggressively as me and typewriter boyfriend #and now we both get tonsillitis constantly though she doesnt have permanent chronic illness at least #does make me think typewriter boyfriend must still be out there having relapses #and thinking of me #which is i have to say a tiny upside to this grim tale.
