ugh. i’ve been home since wednesday afternoon with the WORST case of strep throat that i can remember. it also doesn’t help that i was screwed over by the cvs minute clinic when they said i tested negative for strep. negative?! would you like to look at this throat?! yuck.

anyway, the target clinic came to my rescue. with one look, she said, “oh my god. this is strep! how did they not give you meds?! can you even swallow?!” in fact, since tuesday night, the only things i have consumed have been juice, water, tea & 1 bowl of soup. (& you know how much i looooove to eat! fml)

so, i’m on penicillin now, and although it’s still been less than 24 hours, i can already feel myself getting better. well, actually…maybe it’s just knowing that i will be better that is saving me from (another) nervous break-down.

i’m dying for a slice of chicago-style, garlic, basil & spinach pizza. see you in 10 days, my friend. see you in ten days. but for now, this blueberry popsicle is all i can manage…

*pictured above: ibuprofen & tylenol, (the dr. recommended lapping these two for the pain. because their doses should be every 6 hours, if you start one and then start the second 3hours later, it really helps to stay ahead of the pain.)

penicillin(thank god), pepto bismol (gag reflex & yes, i’ve been singing the song all weekend), salt (gargle gargle) & a flashlight. (cause i’m nosey)
