Another case of Do I Have An Irritate Throat Because of Acid Refux Or Is It Covid/Flu/Cold.

I woke up with an irritated throat yesterday. None of the sore throat medicine I have worked (which usually means it's acid reflux). But being careful I took a Covid test, which was negative. But to be sure I kept my distance from my parents.

This morning the irritation was mostly gone, my throat just feels dry. Just to be sure I did another test (negative). So it looks like it was a really bad case of acid reflux, which isn't surprising after eating a lot during Christmas. I haven't a it this bad in over a year and even then it usually waked me up. I took some medication, so hopefully it won't bother me again.

Some idiot put Vaseline (or something similar) on the door and window, also on various neighbours’ doors and windows. I first thought it was some sort of glue, luckily it wasn’t that.

It cleaned off easily of the door, but on the window it just smeared. I tried various things, but the only thing that got it off was disinfecting cleaning wipes.

My neighbour was just trying to clean her windows, so I gave her a couple of wipes.

Idiots.

My husband has had 2 neck surgeries, and almost always has a scarf around his neck, once the temps are below 70. The guys at work tease him about his "ascots."

How frustrating. Good that you found something that would clean it.

The office two doors down hasn’t cleaned their windows yet. So each morning I’ve had to clean up smears of vaseline from our window. Because more idiot find it funny to take some vaseline from the office’s window and smear it on neighbouring windows. I hope their (window) cleaner will come by next week, because this is getting old.

On another note: I’m bored. As usual on December 31 it’s very quiet in the store and I’ve finished all the chores. Today even more than usual due to the wet and windy weather. Luckily we always close and hour early on this day, so only 3 more hours to go.

One that would probably attract wasps come the summer. Thankfully, lots of applications of hot water and a butter knife was able to clean up the mess (alas, I couldn't salvage the candy).
