Don't really care what it is,

I'm just glad it goes away fast. Thank you to all who sent get-wells and drink-teas. :)

Yes, all night, and all morning, my throat was fiery and nearly closed up. I stayed in bed all day, slept as much as I could (didn't sleep much last night), and drank lots of carrot juice, like some dirty hippie. Now I feel almost perfectly fine.

Allergic reaction is my best guess, but I have no idea to what. Maybe the airborne particles of Polyshades wood stain, the ones I made when I sanded the Fluffy cabinet between coats, didn't agree with my mucus membranes.

That thing looks great, by the way. I'd show you a picture, but my camera has sawdust on the lens. I'll have to put up an illustrated summary of its construction soon. It's been more time-consuming than expected, but I can't get over how nicely the stain took. sadira is a natural with a brush. Maybe I'll put the doors on it today. I should at least design the filtration system, so that I'll know where to put holes in the back panel.
