Happy birthday to me.. not

Happy Birthday to me!!

Well as of the 13th of October I am now 24 (woot).  It was a nice birthday and everything, Jon got me some nice presents, circuit board necklace, and finally The Pioneer Woman cookbook and the Chew cookbook.
Best book ever! 
such a good cookbook! 
His mom got me a very snazzy sewing kit and some things from Lush<3
So for the past few days.. starting on Friday I woke up with a sore throat..  I didn't really think much of it, went to work but as the day progressed it kept getting worse, and dealing with kids while sick sucks.  We were supposed to go to a football game after work but by the time I got home I knew it wasn't going to happen.. It hurt to talk..it hurt to swallow..it hurt to move my head.  So we decided that I would rest so I would be better by my birthday the next day.  Wishful thinking.. I was still sick..

My birthday was pretty laid back.. We went out to Applebee's for dinner and I wasn't super hungry so I got a salad. On Sunday Jon had a surprise planned for me.. I had no idea what it was, he wouldn't tell me a thing.. I did notice that all day Jon had been trying to clean up the apartment and I couldn't figure out why.. So finally we left for the surprise and I realized we were driving to Chris's house... hmmm confusing.. We got there then I realized we were going there to get the kitty we were thinking about getting :) WE WERE GETTING A KITTY I had no idea he was planning this but he's been planning it for a few months.  We picked up Charlie and got some presents for him from Chris's mother and then went back to Jon's parents to pick up some more kitty presents. He's one spoiled kitty. He spent the first day hiding under the bed,. but in the middle of the night he came out and wanted to play.. I think now we've got him a little more used to us. His name is Charlie because he has a moustache like black spot near his mouth so he looks like Charlie Chaplin.  I think we will keep his name.. anyone have any other name suggestions? oohhh. Today he is 4 months old. awwh

I would have a better pic but he kept moving around 

Soon to the week now.. On Monday I wake up and I felt terrible.. throat still hurt..felt a little queasy..felt like throat was swollen so I called into work.. I figured I would be fine to go to work on Tuesday... but little did I know that at 3 am  I was going to wake up and feel so sick that I had to go to the Emergency room. ugh
So we were there from 4 am until 8 maybe and my throat was killing me, I really needed meds.  So they finally called my name and put me in a room...and then I waited and waited.. and they came in and looked at me...took one look at my throat and said I had strep throat.  yikes! they said it was all inflamed and my glands were all swollen.. they still are swollen.. ugh

I don't remember strep throat hurting this much.

We finally got discharged from the hospital and went to CVS to get the antibiotic and then Jon dropped me off at home and then went to work (sorry for making you late hunny) The doctor told me that I should stay home from work for 2 days,  I was thinking about going this morning.. but when I woke up I kept coughing and while my throat hurts less I still feel super sick. It would be a little too much to be at work like this.. I would probably cough up a lung.  or just fall asleep on the floor

This post doesn't contain a recipe because for the past few days I haven't really been hungry or really able to eat regular food.  I've been eating soup and ice cream and sucking on cough drops.  fun stuff


Next weeks post hopefully I will feel like eating real food. I've got exciting stuff planned.  A few Pioneer Woman recipes and I still need to make that pound cake :)

Thank ya'll for reading ! ; )

  1. Sorry you were so sick Rach, at least it was only strep and not something more serious. :-) I hope you take that as a compliment in the best way possible.
