Stupid Strep

I didn’t feel good Sunday evening. Chills, congestion...even after ibuprofen.  So I called in sick-easier to reschedule patients. My boss called and wanted me to see my PCP to get tested for flu. So I called early Monday, got in and got swabbed for flu (OMGerd disgusting) and strep (for good measure-my tonsils were swollen). Negative for flu but POSITIVE for strep. 

She has known me for two decades so her first words were: no work tomorrow either. She knows I do better if she sets boundaries for me. I went home, cried (I Hate being sick), took a nap (my sleep has been awful for a couple days...another indication something was wrong). My nursemaid was right there with me:

I got started on antibiotics and rested. I did get permission to run my mile IF it was super slow and indoors on my treadmill. I obliged. I’d really like to make it to day 1000. 

Today-more rest (I didn’t take a photo of AJ...it looked similar to yesterday). Scully was off plotting how to piss the dogs off, I’m sure. I’m feeling better. Worn out but my throat is better. 

Caturday 2/3/18

Life has been busy. Today was no exception. I ran 8 miles, cleaned the entire house and did laundry I am whooped. I’m making red beans and rice in the instapot so I have some time to post. 

Today started off with breakfast for the girls and then they did some backyard observations before they broke out into WWF. They play fight all the time. It’s quite funny! 

Scully was trying to see if I was doing anything cool. She decided no. 

This afternoon, Jeff was putting in a new gate for the stairs. The girls were right there to make sure he did it right.
