Strep throat sucks

Not only did I bring home some souvenirs from my vacation I also brought home a lovely case of strep throat. YAY. No not yay, I feel like crap. It came on quickly. Wednesday morning I woke up with a scratchy throat, no big deal at the time. As the day wore on I started to feel a little worse but still OK. So I took a nap, a three hour nap. I though to myself oh what have I done I'm never going to sleep tonight.

We took the princess out to eat for her birthday and I started feeling really bad and quick. When we got home from our evening I had a temp of 101. I took some NyQuil (because of the nap) and snored the night away. When I awoke the next morning I felt so bad. I guess I'm a mega wuss because I never get sick, it was just extra bad. I milled around the house. Took another nap this time only two hours and finally admitted that I was sick.

About 90% of the time I hate living in this small little podunk town, Thursday was not one of them. I called the clinic at 2:45 at which point my fever had reached 103 and I couldn't remember my name, no joke I could not remember my name. Got an appointment at 3:30, and was out of there tests shots and all by 4:00. And it only cost me $145.00 Yeah I was happy about that. The princess had high school orientation that night and her daddy had to take her, he was going anyway but I had to skip. So I had almost 4 hours all to myself just me and the dog.

 I took another dose of NyQuil and was off the bed.......or so I thought. Apparently the NyQuil made my sleep walk and subsequently sleep strip.

So that leaves us with today. I woke up feeling much better but no where near well and naked. My throat is on fire. It was like waking up from a bad drunk. I knew where I was but I had no idea where my clothes were. I was informed about the sleep walking incident where I went in the kitchen and told everyone that I was sick, mumbled something else and then went back to bed. I had clothes on at that point. I did eventually find my sleep shirt. It was rolled up neatly and placed in a laundry basket. I guess that happened during the sleep walking. I hate when that happens. Not too sure I'm going to be partaking in  the NyQuil tonight. So my neck hurts and my throat hurt and my head hurt when i bend over. I'm not delirious any longer and I think I should be OK in a couple days. Or at least I hope I am because I'm starving and everything I eat or drink hurts.

Maybe some day I'll get around to posting those birthday party pictures. But right now I think I'm going to go do my nails.
