Great.
Good thing I didn't have New Year's Eve plans, 'cause I have a killer sore throat. I'm gonna sit on it (not literally, ya doof!) for a while and decide whether I think it might be strep or not -- if so, I probably should haul myself into Promptcare today rather than wait until tomorrow, 'cause they might not be open tomorrow with the holiday and all. Right now it doesn't feel strep-ish, but we'll see.
(I used to get strep every year when I was a kid, then I got it every other year till I was in my early thirties or so. I almost always can tell when it's strep, and I just go get some antibiotics and then I'm fine in a day.)
I'm sure I either got this on the plane, or else in the aquarium where there were tons and tons of people and snotty-nosed kids and everything. As crowded as that place was, it would almost be surprising not to pick up some germies there.
Ugh. What a waste of my lovely vacation days though, being all sick and crap. Sigh. Well, I'll have some coffee (hot tea would be the recommended thing, of course, but I need caffeine) and maybe I'll perk up enough to get some reading done. Or maybe I'll go rent a DVD or two. I have to leave the house anyway to go feed Ashley's cats at some point today.
Hope you all have a fabulous New Year's Eve and stuff, without any Martian Death Flu of your own!
