Youngster Has Strep

Yes, I haven't been here for a bit. Why? Well, my little guy and I were both sick with nasty head colds. Kleenex and medicine were everywhere. He is on the mend and almost 100%. I, on the other hand, suddenly got worse. I felt horrible, left work early, stayed home the next day, and, finally, went to the doctor today. I have strep throat. So, while everyone else had Chicken Parmigiana for dinner, I had applesauce.

I do have one good thing to say about the strep. The doctor was talking to me in the exam room and said, "I don't know if I've told you this, but your birthday is one day before mine."

I said, "Oh, really." He then proceeded to tell me that I looked so much younger. We then walked out to the nurse's area to get the prescription print out and he says to me, "I don't know if I should be talking about your birthday, but," now talking to the nurse, "she's a day older than me. She looks like she could be my daughter."

So, he made my day. I told him he could keep the prescription because that made me feel better already. I also said, "Wow, and I didn't even put makeup on today."

So, antibiotics and a compliment. Not a bad doctor's visit. I've got a couple recipes to post up here soon. Shouldn't be long before I am 100%!
