My Strep test came back negative today, but my doctor felt so bad for me (in fact, he was rather appalled by how bad my throat/tonsils looked) that he gave me the Amoxicillin prescription anyways. If I don't start to feel better in a couple days, I probably have Mono. *sigh* Fuckin A.

My visit was great though. I did my paperwork, sat down for about 30 secs before the nurse called me back, she did the vitals and swabbed my throat, she didn't even get the door closed behind her before the doctor walked in, he looked at me, got my test results, sent me off with my script. Grand total: 20 mins. Awesome!

It HURTS to swallow, so I keep waking myself up. I can't eat anything. I finally managed to down an Icee this afternoon. I might try some soup broth after I gargle some salt water.

I am a sweaty, icky mess and I still got hit on at the pharmacy. Really, dude? Does it fucking look like I want to talk to you??

I am still going to The Fair tomorrow, throat be damned! Just maybe we'll go later than we had planned. I can't see myself making it through the entire day. I'll let everyone know. I emailed Sven yesterday and he said he'd look for me. *squee* Although he also jinxed the whole day by saying that if the weather gets severe, he has to go back to the station. Dammnit! Maybe I can work that to my advantage though. He would owe me a birthday photo then, wouldn't he? I conveniently work right down the block from the station...*hmmmmmm*

My mom seriously does not want me to come up to the cabin, because she doesn't want what I've got. Plus, if I have to stay inside all weekend, might as well do that at home. I can work on teaching myself SQL, I suppose.

Oh! My boss is working on getting me a laptop for work. So if something like this happens again, I can still work from home. Because I guess the place falls apart if I'm not there. I can feel the chains getting tighter already.

Bought my ticket to the Cathouse 20th anniversary show! Whoo-hoo!!

Instead of using salt water, try gargling with peroxide. Yes, it tastes nasty, but so does the salt water IMO and it will kill any bacteria harboring around in your mouth and throat! If it's too strong at first, then dilute it with water, but gargling straight will be the best!

Sucks for you to be sickies on your birthday weekend :( ..but either way, I hope you still manage to have fun, and of course, we want pictures!

Hmmmm. I'd be okay with doing that, but I don't have any here and I'm not going back out to the store. I'll try to remember to pick some up tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

I know! It's so wrong for me to be sick this weekend!

Don't worry. There will be plenty of photos!! =)

Sorry your birthday weekend is gonna be teh_suckage with the sore throat. Hope you have a good one anyway.



Sooooooooo jealous on the Cathouse thing. Once in a lifetime thing, I was all set to go and *boom* (like, literally, "boom" lol)... gone. I hope you and Rikki and Marie and everyone don't mind the pity party that I'll be having for the next 5 weeks, cuz I feel the need to wallow. LOL

Thanks. This is seriously horrible. Nothing is making me feel better.

Ummmm, I'm sure the Cathouse thing will suck. We won't have fun at all. You won't miss anything.

Ok since I don't want to get what you've got, I'll give you a (((HUG))) here and not tomorrow.

There will be much fun to be had tomorrow and you will soon forget all about how much today and yesterday sucked.

I wonder if the fair will have Halls on a stick? Hmmmmmm....

That's fine. I don't expect anyone to want to touch me tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure parts of tomorrow will suck too, but I'll get past that. Especially since they now have Sven shirts for sale at The Fair!

I saw aspirin on a stick last year. No Halls though.

You have NO idea! There was a whole fan club of people there last weekend. And lots of people have homemade Sven shirts.

And we have [livejournal.com profile] svenislove.

This should be an interesting day.

Are you ready to put some old people down tomorrow?

I will do whatever it takes. Old people don't scare me.

I SO should have bought the aspirin on a stick. :)

I can't believe I'm missing your birthday/Sven day/things on a stick day! Just isn't right!
