Wow I feel so bad these days. I was achy all over when I woke up on Sunday morning, but I didn’t think too much of it. Then yesterday I woke up and could barely move. I could not get warm. My throat hurt so bad I could barely swallow. So I made a doctors appointment for 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Turns out I have strep throat. Poor Keith got stuck taking care of me since I’m single and really don’t have a lot of people who can drop everything to come take care of me.

Keith is a god send. Last night when I just wanted to curl up and cry, he went to Walgreens to get my medicine. The doctor gave me a lidocaine mouth gargle solution and pain medicine for the body aches. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up drenched in sweat because my fever finally broke. I never run a fever…my temperature is usually below normal. SO when it shot up to 101* yesterday, I knew I was in bad shape. So I drove myself to the doctor and was told that I have strep throat.

Bad timing for any kind of illness. We go to Disney World on Thursday, so I have to make sure that I get better before then. I’m not contagious anymore, but it still worries me. Even though I can’t pass it to anyone who I don’t make out with or drink after, I’m still not feeling well. And on the trip there are kids climbing on you and we pick them up and help them onto the rides and it just wears you out. I’ve got to get better so I can keep up.

Anyway, that’s what’s going on with me. The weekend was fun until I woke up feeling bad on Sunday. On Friday my friend had her birthday party at Dave and Busters. Can I tell you about the DDR fanatics that were there? We had to wait forever because these people would not stop playing. In fact they sat right by the game and hogged it. Ooh I don’t like the DDR hogs. But then they backed off for us to play a game.

I have to go to the bathroom. I’m trying to drink a lot of water, but it goes right through me. It really hurts to swallow, so this is not fun.
