just give me a facemask...

can i mention that i HATE strep throat?! last week, when i started packing things up and started to move my things to my new house, i started getting sick. it felt like strep. (i didn't go to the doctor - didn't have time. stupid i know. just assumed it was strep because of the symptoms and because i get it ALL of the time.) well, i got to move in the midst of this lovely sickness... whatever it was. i had no strength. no energy. i have always been pretty good at moving my own things (minus the big, heavy duty items). this time, not so much. it was unreal. i would lift something and it took just about all of me to just lift a normal box! i'm hoping it was just me being sick. ha!

well, finally by thursday night/friday i started feeling better. friday i was able to kind of get some things unpacked. saturday i felt more like myself. i was SOOO happy that i was able to go out saturday night to help celebrate one of my favorite friend melissa's 30th birthday. i lost my voice during the night but just thought it was just part of the festivities and the freakin' crazy cold, frigid wind. not so. by 4:00am i was awoken by not being able to swallow - or at least this horrible pain!! what?!?! not again. this time it was much worse. sigh. i can't do this again. by 7:30am, i checked and yep. looks like strep. this time i must go to the doc. off to the after hours clinic. yay. so the doc walks in...

doc: "so, you have a sore throat?" (lol. makes me sound like an idiot. i'm really not one of those people who just goes in when i have a little ailment.)
me: "i get strep a lot... just kind of think i may have it"
doc: "do you want me to do a strep test?"
me: (thinking) aren't YOU the doctor? "yes."
doc: "ok. it will take 5 minutes."

.... 15 minutes later....
doc: "you have strep"
me: (thinking) DUH

:)

so after 2 *fun* shots, i was on my way

thanks for reading my meaningless post about my LOVELY (read: sickly) week. and i'm supposed to be making cookies for my home group Christmas party tomorrow. don't think that is going to happen. i don't want to spread my curse!

by the way... (2 posts in one day!)

in case you are wondering, i should be finishing up packing. the movers come in about 4 hours. but what am i doing? procrastinating. i'm sick... don't have ANY energy... i'm tired... overwhelmed... and i'm really sick of looking at the remaining stacks of junk. you know what junk i'm talking about right? those things you have NO idea what to do with... they didn't seem to fit into any category while packing. plus, it doesn't help that i am moving just up the street. one of these days i will have to REALLY pack. (and really get rid of my crap!!)

luckily i don't have to techinically be out of this apartment until the end of the month so there will be some stragglers of junk left for next week. i just can't handle any more!! but i guess i need to at least make it where the movers can get to the furniture, right??

but then comes the fun part... UNpacking. heavy sigh.

ok. off to finish this. one last load to the house before the movers come!!

just cuz...

i saw this on my friend lori's blog and decided to post it on mine... LOVE it. :)
