They said it was a Microbe and a Hotbed of Disease

Gum infection, sniffling, sneezing, sore throat, earache, bronchitis, maybe oral thrush too?

Bah. I get the feeling my immune system isn't even trying anymore.

On the plus side, my weight isn't much higher than it was the last time I went to my primary provider's office (about what my previous doctor thought my minimum weight should be), my blood pressure is my normal (low by everyone else's standards), and my temperature isn't high enough to be called a fever. (Since fevers actually help the body fight infection, that last bit may not be a plus.)

No new information about dental care. I seriously need better options.

Maybe I should get some help from the Antiseptic Baby and the Prophylactic Pup.

After waiting at bus stops in today's windchills, that vapor of a thousand-odd degrees sounds almost pleasant. But though it was a cold day, it still was spring--dandelions blooming at the Metro station told me that.

Survey snagged from lootsfoz:

One Kleenex or two when you blow your nose?
However many I need, whether it be half a tissue or half a dozen.

Have you ever drank Slimfast?
Not that I recall.

Do you listen to music off your computer?
I listen to music off the Launchcast servers.

Do you wear headphones so you don't distract other people?
No, I wear headphones because there isn't enough room for external speakers.

Have you ever blown a speaker out in a car from having too much bass?
No.

Do you use highlighters frequently?
My highlighters have all dried out by now, I'm sure.

Do you carry scissors?
Oh, I am too close to Washington, DC to carry around such dangerous implements. I carry a tiny sewing kit, so I can use a needle to make perforations in something and then tear along the dotted line.
