Strep throat = missing work.

Well, I am sitting at home today again and missing work. Sucky! I HATE using PPL for sick days... what a waste. I started feeling a little sick on Friday and I went to the Dr. because I felt like I had Strep throat. Ding ding- I was correct! I was put on an antibiotic and told I couldn't work on Saturday. During the night on Friday and early Saturday morning I had the worst body aches I can ever remember having! Ouch! I was also running a fever... Good thing I had orders not to work on Saturday! But throughout Saturday, I was running a fever and having body aches still. I ended up having to call in to work again due to still running a fever. So I am at home again- bored out of my mind. I am feeling better today, but I did wake up with horrible body aches and a temp again this am. I'm hoping for a good night sleep tonight!

Last night when I started running a temp again, I sent a text to my cousin, Amy, who is a nurse and told her what was up with me. Amy wrote me this as a text message "Take meds for 4th time today, take nyquil and go to sleep stat. T.O. Dr. Feelbetter/A(her last name)RN." If you know anything about taking telephone orders from a Dr.-this is absolutely hilarious! It truly made my day! I love her :D (I get to see her in 4 days! Very excite!)

It sucks being home sick because I don't feel like doing anything. It would be worth using PPL if I was actually being productive around here. Luckily I got some laundry done on Friday when I wasn't feeling too bad yet. Now my house is a mess and I have no energy or ambition to clean it. Nice huh?!? I have tomorrow off too, so I am hoping I feel up to cleaning and getting stuff packed up because Matt and I leave for Sioux Falls on Wednesday morning! Well, back to what I have been doing best the past couple of days- watching Lifetime movies and snuggling with my kitties while sitting in my recliner.... Perhaps I will put the superbowl on for tonight. Even though I don't really care about who wins it this year....
