"Ewwww," said my doctor as she looked at the back of my throat yesterday morning.
Swollen and filled with white spots, my throat certainly wasn't attractive. I had, however, expected a different response from my doctor.

When I am sick, I slow down...
My couple just emailed back. We have rescheduled for Saturday. There were 3 more homes they wanted to see anyway...
All's well that ends well.:)
Realtors don't get sick days...
