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.
