Streptococcus

Just back in from having to go to the urgent care clinic. It's official. I have strep throat. I should have listened to my mom and gone to the doctor two days ago. The doctor's final word of advice to me after giving me a script for antibiotics was to drink plenty of water, and to gargle with warm salt water. I HATE gargling with warm salt water. The first thing that my mother said to me when I told her my throat was sore starting at the age of 6 or so was to gargle with warm salt water. What good does it do me to gargle with warm salt water, when it just makes me gag and throw up...then my throat hurts even more? So, hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. I can't keep taking 3200 mg of Motrin everyday...do you think that's enough to overdose on? I hope not. Oh, and the doc suggested I throw away my toothbrush in 5 days. I like my toothbrush. It's brand new!!! Do you have any idea how many people's hands I shook and the amount of people I hugged this past weekend????!!!!

Hamster update: I thought about burying him, but we live in an apartment complex. This morning he was looking a little shriveled up. So, I grabbed a big shopping bag, I think it was a Harry Potter Disney bag, Gabby held the bag open, and I slid in the whole cage. I decided the best thing to do was to just put the whole cage in the dumpster. Gabby and I drove to the dumpster before she went to daycare this morning, and thankfully there was a lot of trash in there, so I didn't just hunk him over the edge into oblivion. I carefully laid the bag on top. Gabby's face was so sad. I don't even want to think about it anymore. And Gabby has moved on to wanting a snake. Poor Hammy the Hamster. He did live a good life though. He even had an X-treme cage.

I CANNONT BELIEVE YOU PITCHED YOUR POOR DEAD RODENT IN TO THE APARTMENT COMPLET DUMPSTER ALONG WITH OTHER TENANTS USED CONDOMS, TAMPONS, AND EMPTY EGG CRATES!!! I hope your daughter doesn't learn from you and take the same precautions with your body some day!!!!! A dirty fork burial is far more dignified.

AND YES I know you're f'ing sick!

After K posted, I was kind of hoping I had gotten away with the "pitching" without much notice.

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
