• Man the past day really sucks.  So, I’m finally out of my fever by
  Thursday night / Friday morning, but then I got some new problem. 
  I went to sleep at that time, was having a dream and all, then suddenly
  I was compelled to wake up.  When I woke up, I realized that I
  woke up because I was choking on my own saliva; which built up in my
  mouth / throat.  I then proceeded to spit out all that saliva
  (yeah, I know, not exactly pretty) in the bathroom. 

  I went back to my room to sleep again since apparently I only got two
  hours of it.  But by the time I lie down back on my bed, I noticed
  that my mouth in fact is still building up excess saliva.  I
  simply could not lie down, because I would just choke myself.  I
  decided to drink some water, soda, whatever.  As well as spit out
  whatever I can spit out in hopes that it will “run out.”  But no
  such luck.

  After about four hours of staying up, keeping myself occupied, hoping
  that I will suddenly get cured all by myself, I decided to try and go
  back to sleep.  This time around, I was able to get some sleep,
  but two hours later I was once again forced to wake up because of the
  saliva problem.  I later looked online as to what my problem could
  be, and signs said that it’s either simply an acid indigestion problem,
  or I have that acid-reflux thing (which is actually more serious than I
  thought).  I convinced myself that it was acid-reflux, but the
  only kind of over the counter medicine I had was alka-seltzer. 
  Hoping that would work, I tried it, and so far I think I might be
  okay.  Right now, i’m waiting for the next recommended time for me
  to take another dosage of alka-seltzer before I go back to sleep.

  So yeah, mostly a miserable day for me.
