Regained a few hit points, I think!
I know, I'm a late in life geek, but hey, hit points! With the funny for the win! Seriously, After two days of antibiotics, I feel about 50% better. Most of the time the pain ranged from mild annoyance to distinctly annoying, but I no longer wish to claw my own throat out. The pain meds were a godsend, but the antibiotics are clearly working very well. Strep is such an intriguing illness, yes indeedy do! My throat -itches- now. I won't go into details, but wow, it's somewhat unpleasant. Compared to yesterday morning though? Pfft. This is a walk in the park. I still can't really eat, since then it does hurt and quite a lot at that. I can manage instant grits with splenda and cinnamon really well, though. Ice cream can be done in small doses if I pour milk in the bowl in sort of a reverse milkshake. Cheese? Nope. No way. Ain't happening. I tried.
And hey! I've lost like 7 pounds so far! Woot! ;) I mean, I'm glad to lose weight, always, but this isn't my preferred method, donchaknow.
Dean saw the doc today and was also diagnosed with strep, although he's not nearly as decrepit as I am. Still, he's quarantined for 2 days as well, poor man. He's being such a sweetheart, but don't tell anyone I said that. He'll deny it utterly.
One thing that got me though, was I let a friend down through this, and I feel like a heel. I told one of my friends she could observe me teaching, and since I was doing concerts and having lots of parental contact, today would be -perfect-! She called me this morning about...um, I'm not sure what time. I wasn't coherent really, poor lady. I just cannot believe I dropped the ball on her like that. I'll have to do something nice for her. Gah. I do not like to let people down, but most especially people I admire. *sigh*
Randomly, I have learned to crochet a basketweave pattern. It's pretty...hmm. Might make a nifty gift. I found a lovely yarn store not to far away run by vastly nice people. I'm tired of being a grump at people, I've decided. I need to be as kind as so many that I know.
Okay, it's late, and I'm done rambling. Warm fuzzies to everyone. :)
