Waking up in the middle of the night to the feeling in the back of your throat that you've thrown up is never a good thing.

I hadn't, which was a relief, but that burnt orange juice feeling persisted, being noticable any time I breathed, or swallowed, and I have no idea what caused it, or what I could do in order to keep it from occuring ever again.

I was thinking, "Hmm, does that mean I'm sick and I'm going to throw up?" I'm pretty good with knowing when I'm going to vomit from years of experience, and this was nothing like previously.

So, I did what I normally do anytime I'm feeling out of sorts in the middle of the night, which is to sit in the bathroom for a while drinking water, and wating for anything to occur.

Time passes, much water is consumed, and nothing changes.

I'm so exhausted, I hope I can just crash back to sleep and let my digestive system work out whatever it's going to do on its own, and leave me out of it.

Seemingly instantly, my alarm goes off telling me it's time to shamble to work, so I haul my exhausted butt out of bed and start getting ready.

The throat feeling is mostly gone, still unexplained, and all I have is a crappy night's sleep to show for it.

I guess I can look forward to more mystery aliments as I get older. Maybe I'll nap in my car during lunch; I'm almost ready to sink to that in order to get some rest.
