Ok...so I'm not dead.....YET

I bet you guys are all wondering if I dropped off the face of the Earth again.......

YOU COULDN'T BE THAT LUCKY!!! HA!!

Nope, until just about an hour ago, I have pretty much been bed ridden with strep. Eww...and why me??

Let me let you in on a little tid bit about me. I don't get sick, nope not me. I have no idea why, but when any of you come down with whatever the affliction of the day is....It never quite makes it to me. I can sit next to you, drink out of your glass, or all but kiss you and STILL not even get so much as a sniffle. I know - BOO HOO- stop whining, right??

That leads me to another little tid bit about me:

Ready??

Here I go:

I AM A MOMMA'S GIRL

Yep, a great big ol' baby. At 34, the only thing I want when I actually get sick, is my Mom. You would think somewhere along the line I would have grown out of this phase, but sadly - NO!!! Make fun if you want...but secretly you all want your Mommies too!! I know you do, no use in denying it!!!

I have to say I have gotten much better about not letting her know that I still feel like I'm 10 sometimes =)!!

I started feeling "blah" on Monday night. I went to bed smothered with 3 comforters, sweats, and socks and STILL froze my behind off!!! Tuesday morning brought zero relief, in fact, all I wanted was to stay in bed and sleep......

No luck, I got my self up dressed and off to work.....Not for long though. I had a fever and they sent me home under direct orders to call a doctor.......UMMM....Did I mention that I despise doctors??? Hate them.....dread them.....well, you get the point!! I went home as directed, called the doctor and they were booked....in my mind I was doing a happy dance!! Yes, I'm the moron who would rather suffer than see a miserable ol' doctor.........

Can you say- S-T-U-P-I-D??? Yeah, I know!!!

I stayed on the couch for the rest of the day, minus the hour or so to go get an Xmas tree for Joe and go to Kmart for some lights for said tree. I was feeling a bit better being up and mobile.......maybe Wednesday would be a better day.....

Uhhhh......Not so much =(

I got up feeling 10x worse....I could barely function....It was an utter miserable experience just to get out of bed. So I called in sick (I HARDLY EVER DO), and then I did what I dreaded doing....I called the doctor.

THAT was an experience in itself....

First let me say:

If you don't LIKE your job....find a new one!!!

The receptionist lady who answered the phone at my doctor's office was the most unpleasant woman I have encountered on the phone. Imagine a overweight woman, filing her nails, rolling her eyes....You get the idea......She was so pleasant!!! NOT!!! I asked if they had openings for that day, she said no, booked solid, no sorry or let me see if I have any cancellations, but flat out NO WAY!! She said - how about Thursday, I said sorry I have to work, but I'm off Friday. She either was hard of hearing or plain didn't listen. Her response was - You can come in Thursday, You'll get a note.

Okay....I said I'm off Friday, do you have anything for then? Then.....after telling me there was absolutely nothing open on the day that I called- Wednesday- she says - Can you come in at 2:30 pm today???

OKAY????

Did I miss something or am I crazy??? Was she saving that spot for somebody special??? Wow. I told her I could definitely make it in. I also said - Thank You- to which her response was - Uh huh......Nice.

I went in to the doctor and was told I have strep and a pulse of 90/60. They gave me antibotics and a doctor's note saying that I can't go back to work until Monday!! Now here I sit after I drug myself off the couch to shower, feeling a bit better. Not sure, but I think laying around makes you feel much worse. I was starting to get a stiff neck from doing nothing!!!!

I just wanted reassure you all that I was alive and well and still feel good enough to write!!! I know....YOU'RE ALL SO THRILLED!!!! Ha!!
