I'm fighting off strep throat now. Goody, goody, goody.
My throat is very swollen and my tonsils are enlarged and even stick together. It's hard to swallow pills.
I called the doctor's office and they said that my immunity is down since I'm getting over pneumonia and that's why I'm having symptoms even though I'm already on amoxicillin.
Either way, I have to call back Monday when I'm off the antibiotics.
So, I'm just friggin cheerful as hell.
On a good note, I got paid today.
On a bad note, I can't go crazy with this paycheck. It's groceries, and car payment and Jackie's christmas shopping. I will get my nails done and eyebrows waxed because dang it it IS my birthday next week and I'm not letting Lisa take pictures of me with a unibrow.
Crap. I hate being low on money.
I think I may have mentioned that Jackie made the honor roll. I am so proud of her! I even got one of those clingon's that goes in your window that says, "Proud parent of an honor student at (insert school name here)".
I called Jackie's dad, Uranus, last night to let him know how well she's doing and to brag that she got an A in Math, her most unfavorite subject.
He was proud and ooh'd and aah'd about it. Then, she got on the phone and they talked for about 45 minutes. I tried not to listen to their conversation, but I did wonder what the hell they were talking about for so long.
When she gave me back the phone I asked him, "Did she talk your ear off?" and it turned out she'd been talking for a while to Revecca, the dreaded step-sister.
So far, I've seen that Jackie detests her. But they are close in age. They may develop a relationship over time.
I was hoping a little that he'd mention that he'd sent off this months child support, but he didn't. I didn't think it was the right time to start a "conversation" about his responsibilities when our daughter was standing there, so I let it go. For now.
It is about Jackie being a great student, not about him not paying me on a reliable schedule.
Oh well.
I guess I'll have to wait to get my hair highlighted. I really wanted to do that for my birthday.
I'll just have to wear it up Wednesday when we go out to eat, so no one can see that I have a month and a half's growth of non-highlighted roots.
That's okay.
I'll live.
