At least it is a pretty Christmasy Red...

So yeah, I'm coughing up blood.  Neat.  Here's a little piece of advice, don't look up symptoms you have on the internet - they tend to go to the extreme.  Am I scared?  Not really.  It's probably something dumb like a broken capillary - but if it's not, well, then it's not.  I'll deal.  It's probably something I've brought upon myself.  I have a wonderful little 11-day vacation starting Friday, and what I DON'T WANT is to spend all of it at the doctor.  This kind of thing needs to happen when I don't have time-off already scheduled.  Bah!  It tastes icky.  I'd make a horrible vampire.
