Hippie Boy

This post is dedicated to the Lipscombs, Cody Brumley, and Chris Mabe.

Woke up at about 4am with a sore throat and it hurt to swallow. Ugh
When I woke up again for real, the throat was still hurting.
My roommate said, "Sounds like strep or tonsillitis"
Spent the rest of the day after church drinking tea and eating soup.
Hippie Boy has reared its ugly head in Armenia!

Hippie Boy is a nickname that was given to me on a trip back from Glorieta in college. After a week in nature, I had a bit of sinus stuff going on. When we stopped at a Denny's after driving through the night, my voice had pretty much dropped an octave. And as legend has it, when the waitress asked for my order, a very manly "PANCAKES" came out. And, I'm stuck with the name!

I'm hoping my throat will get un-sore very soon. I don't have a fever, so I don't think it's anything serious. Since my day to day activities involve lots of talking (ya know, teaching English) I would really like the manly talk and soreness to end.

I am thinking of you and praying for you. I wish I could be with you to fix the tea and soup. Drink lots of water. I think lemons and honey and peppermint are good, too. Get lots of sleep, too. If it really really hurts, then it could be strep ,and you don't want to mess around with that because it could bring your immune system down. OK enough motherly concern. Oh, by the way, I never knew that you were called Hippie Boy.

I am sorry, 'hippy boy'! I know hot tea is very soothing to a sore throat!

I don't know.... it might not be that bad. Some of them Armenian ladies had some pretty deep voices. You might fit in better with Hippie Boy going on. :P
