Oh, Christmas, you big bastard.
I am weirdly proud of the fact that when my doctor asked me today when the last time was that I took antibiotics, the answer was "I have no idea. Years and years, at least."
But I have them now! Because I have strep throat, and my illness eventually got the better of me. I gave my family a heads up that I might be a sleeping germ factory over Christmas, and the response was,
"Mimi [my step-grandmother] may have H1N1. She has been in and out of the hospital. Will know more later today, but we don;t want to expose the whole family to that if it turns that's what it is."
Meaning: Christmas might be canceled; stay tuned.
