The article didn�t come out last Sunday. It was some crap about the St. Louis Cardinal�s. Once again, I was very disappointed. This whole thing is giving me gray hair.
I haven�t updated because I�ve been sick. Monday, I had the day off. I did Jackie�s Christmas shopping in the morning with Lisa. I even went and had lunch with Jackie at school. Of course I had to bring her favorite, Taco Bell.
But that afternoon, I realized that the swelling in my throat that I�d had for the past 4 days was not getting any better, in fact, I was getting used to it.
I called the doctor�s office and I was able to get an appointment for 3:15 p.m.
The doctor put me on an antibiotic called Levaquin for strep throat. It is an extremely strong antibiotic that you take once a day for 7 days.
She was very mad when I told her what the receptionist told me about waiting to call back when I was done with the amoxicillin. The doctor told me that when you are sick with pneumonia and get a secondary infection like strep you need to be on a different and stronger antibiotic. That�s why I feel like crap. The strep sat in my throat for about a week and a half before I started the Levaquin.
Well, I�ve been on it for 5 days and I�m still dealing with a swollen throat. I�m sick of that feeling. Every time I take a pill or eat, I feel like I could choke. Not a great feeling.
On top of it all, I have a cold.
I had dinner with my cousin on Monday. But since she just got her tonsils out a week ago, she was okay and pretty much immune to the strep. I worry a little that I might�ve given something to the kids in Jackie�s class, but she has not mentioned that anyone is sick. Thank God.
Me, Jackie and my cousin had dinner at the Cracker Barrel. Don�t go in there on payday because you will blow it all in their fabulous gift shop. They even sell Yankee Candle.
Wednesday was my birthday. I turned 31. Lisa made it special. We had dinner at O�Charley�s. I forgot to call my cousin to tell her what time we were eating. That is my fault. I felt bad about it. In my defense, I wasn�t feeling very good and spaced it out.
Lisa got me this fabulous book she made at Clarkphotolabs about our times out together. There are so many pictures in there. I guess we really did stay busy this summer. It is really cool.
She got me the movie �The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants� which I had been dying to see.
She also got me some assorted Yankee Candle items and some personal items, like Shea Butter Lotion and Olay�s OM line of body scrub, which I�d been dying to try.
I really like this photo of us that she framed in a �Best Friends� frame. It is flattering for us both! I�m going to bring it to work, I think.
I loved this box she got me. It is pink and has high heels and stuff on it. Words like �Diva� were all over it. I loved it. It now sits on my living room end table. It is so me!
I haven�t decided what I�m going to use it for yet.
Because of being sick, I�m completely worn down. Yesterday I took off work, which isn�t a good thing, considering I have no leave time to take off. I�m so nauseas on this medicine, and I sleep like crap. This is the 4th day I�ve taken off in 3 weeks.
Last night, my cousin Jackie stopped by after work. She had gotten me some neat stuff for my birthday. She got me this little Harvest plant thing that you put your picture in. She got me a cute Jack O� Lantern tea light holder. My favorite was this tall Halloween mug and it had a little ghost in it. I loved that. I was very touched that she did that for me. I didn�t expect anything because like me, girlfriend has had issues with money this year and she spent six months being very sick before having her tonsillectomy. It made me smile.
I got cards from my sister Renee, Grandma Leila and my niece Melody. I got a phone call wishing me �Happy Birthday� from my sister Melinda in Italy, my Aunt Abby and Ms. Terry. But I did not even get a card from Cinders, which sort of hurt my feelings. I always send her a birthday card. She�s in Utah right now visiting a friend. My sister Maggs told me last night she talked to her on my birthday. But Cinder�s did not even call me. I shouldn�t get my feelings hurt, but she�s been my Mom for 15 years so I expect SOMETHING!
I didn�t get a card or a phone call from Maggs either but I wasn�t mad at her for some reason.
Yesterday, my Urban Decay �Soot� liquid eyeliner came. Yeah, it�s a little expensive, but the stuff stays on and is idiot proof. I�m the idiot with the shaky hand.
Jackie�s baby doll and her Fairly Oddparents watch came in the mail. Girlfriend isn�t getting those until Christmas though. My pants that I ordered from the Avenue came also.
This weekend, I�d love to get my nails and eyebrows done. But I am so broke. I wish the child support would just come already.
