So yeah, I was supposed to go back to work on Friday but instead I woke up all shivery and sweaty in my bed. I got dressed and called work to say I was going to the doctor. When I got to the doctor I was all like, "Hey, doctor, I think I have strep throat and an ear infection." And the doctor was all, "When did this start?" And I was like, "Yesterday." And he was like, "Well, it may be too soon to diagnose it." And I was like, "Just have a look." So he did and of course I was right. My right ear was super infected and my glands were swollen and my throat was red and gross and he detected a "puss-like smell that's associated with strep." Mmmm...lunch.
I called work to tell them I wasn't coming in and then made my way to the pharmacy for the meds to make my life better. When I got home it was only 9:30 am. I put Buffy in the DVD player, took some NyQuil, and laid on the couch where I promptly fell asleep. I woke up periodically to take my temperature (102 degrees) or change DVDs but otherwise I slept all day until it was 11:30 pm. Then I got up and went to bed. Woo!
I hate strep. A bunch. And I get it and earaches pretty flipping often. Totally sucks. But what made me mad this time is that I was really looking forward to my Friday night. I had already spent a few days just laying around the house and I was tired of that ish. I had plans to hang out with someone that's really cool and that I enjoy hanging out with. But instead I had to tell him that I had strep and was currently contagious and ask if we could delay our plans until Saturday. But still...I will not be at my usual level of awesome today. I'll be fit to hang out with but I'll be way less interesting and exuberant than normal.
The one bit of good news I have is that Kanye West loves playing Connect four. Crazy...but totally true.

Apparently he likes to play with incredibly stupid hotties, which is understandable.
