Sick

I cannot believe it-I have strep. Which not only includes a sore throat, but a fever of over 101, chills (or insane warmth-can't wait for real hot flashes), and an aching body. I'm so sore it hurts to sit even. Of course, that may be due to the penicillen shot they gave me in my posterior. Which hurt. And made me have more chills, and oh goody, pass out. No wonder they make you wait 1/2 an hour before you can leave after you get the shot. I thought it would be better to get the shot because then I don't have to pay for a prescription, or go to the store and get it, but that was a big mistake. For one thing, I didn't realize they were going to do it in my butt (it's such a thick needle they have to-I should have remembered that from when I took Jeph to the doctor a few years back and he got the shot), and then the side effects were brutal. Next time I'm going with the pills. Of course, I hope there won't be a next time. I even had to miss class, which sucks. I know, I'm a big loser for actually being annoyed about missing class, but since all my classes are discussion-based, it's important that I go. Who am I kidding? I would have been annoyed no matter what kind of class it was. Eric's not sick yet, and I really hope he doesn't get sick. Gina is, but her test came back negative (so far) but she has all the same symptoms as me plus Eric and I were just at their house 2 days ago, and I started feeling sick yesterday. I hate being sick. And I'm just not good at it. I am a whiner. And I need to do homework but haven't been able to do more than lay around. Actually, I'm immensely surprised I managed to get to my computer to write this. Of course, I'm probably really rambling because my mind is so unfocused. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow, so I can go to work (I had to miss that today too) and my class tomorrow night. And get my homework done.

Oh look at this! Sons of the pharaohs! Give me frogs! Flies, locusts! Anything but you. Compared to you the other plagues were a joy!
