Noooo, I got some kind of bug. I started getting a sore throat on Monday night and by yesterday I have a fever of 102! I can't remember ever having a fever as an adult. It made me feel crazy! I was so loopy and kept having inappropriate giggle fits. I literally could barely lift Blb into her car seat b/c I was so weak.
I took some cold medicine and went to bed at 8:30 last night. I think my fever is gone now but my throat hurts so bad and my lymph nodes are super swollen and tender. They are really protruding from my neck. I hope I don't have strip throat! We are hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow
It seems almost impossible to get in to see your doctor when you need to. I guess urgent care is an option.
I hope everyone else stays healthy and has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! We've been prepping for tomorrow since Sunday. Our turkey is brining away, and will be buttered and put in the fridge tonight, all ready to roast tomorrow! Veggies are all prepped and done, pie crusts are made, and so most of the hard work is out of the way. We are super excited to just have the next few days to ourselves and our little family.
ilovebed, I hope you feel better! If you've got a fever and a sore throat, I'd definitely head to at least urgent care to get tested for strep. It's an easy test (though it will most likely make you gag), and they can give you a script for antibiotics and you will feel much better!
Oh no ilovebed, I hope this bug is short lived for you!
I cannot believe it's almost Thanksgiving! I am so excited for the food and the long weekend. I still have a lot of food to prep but I made some good headway last night. We were hoping to go to the Warren Miller ski movie tonight, but I totally forgot to buy tickets and it's apparently sold out. We usually go to a showing at McCaw and that one never sells out. I'm annoyed but it will give us more time to get ready for tomorrow. We are going to get an early start and hopefully avoid the worst of the ferry traffic.

By some miracle, my doctor is available at 10am today. Sweet. I hope it's not strep but with my lymph nodes being soooo swollen and painful I'm not feeling very optimistic. I get sore throats all the time and never get a fever and swollen lymph nodes. Having a toddler in daycare means we are all sick all the time it seems. This is our third winter in daycare so I thought it would be better by now but she's had a terrible cold and ear infection for about 10 days and now i have this. Bad timing.
Today's plan is gym, target, mall, brows, pick up bkb. Elf and decorate her Christmas tree. It's going to be an awesome day. I'm way too excited to go to target lol.

Good morning. I am home and Tman has a half day. We will go to Trader Joes afterwards and hope we make it out alive. We are actually having Chinese for dinner, but we need some desserts and maybe some snacks.
In other, more exciting news, I received my first Christmas card yesterday. It was this really cool cartoony type picture of this super cool chick, her husband, and her furry friend *Cough @uwhuskygirl Cough*. Thanks lady! It's super cute!
I get to leave work early today. I've been slacking in the healthy eating/working out department, so H and I are hitting the gym today. It's going to suck since PMS has me feeling all crampy and fatigued, and my skin is all broken out like I'm a teenager. Lovely
I need to run a few errands today. I need to do some prep for my trifle for tomorrow. We are having dinner with my inlaws tonight and I do. not. want. to. go.
Morning! I'm off today so I can go into class/study but B is off too so we plan to hang out this afternoon and go buy some German food. He is missing his dad a lot with the holiday season here.
Surgery is officially scheduled for 12/15, hopefully I will only be out of work for a week or so. This is the only negative thing about being per diem, no PTO.

H had almost those exact same symptoms a few weeks ago and had strep. I'd definitely try to get in to see someone soon.
ETA, just saw you are going in. Hope it's not strep but if it is at least you can get on antibiotics.
Can AF just show UP already? I'll have back pain but as soon as it starts, my hormones seem to level out. I slept AWFULLY last night and was actually dizzy IN MY DREAM. I woke up really cranky. Then I put the first dent in my car as I backed up into a chain link fence. It's the size of my thumb (the dent, not the fence) but I was hoping to make it 2015 before I did something stupid
Was supposed to do a lot of cleaning last night but H and I were just so. tired. I did get most of the table cleaned off and baked the cornbread for my stuffing. tonight we'll have to finish the kitchen (mostly moving canning stuff to the garage) and I'll assemble the stuffing and pre-boil the yams so they just have to warm up/bake in the oven.
I ordered Ivan's Christmas stocking finally!! I found it on some Christian website for $24 including shipping instead of the $40+ shipping at the original website where I saw it. I'll embroider his name on it when it gets here. So glad he'll finally have a proper stocking.
Tried my first Jamberry application last night and it took me too long so I only got one hand done, but at least they're pretty. I couldn't get the ends to file off to save my life.
I have gotten just about all of my prep done. Just need to finish baking the last pie and then baking the rolls once they get done rising. I am ready to nap but I doubt thats going to happen especially since I really need to get a work out in but I really don't know that I have the energy for that

I think I'm getting a cold, stuffy nose, sore throat. So last night I took NyQuill and was groggy when I woke up. Worked today, though I did take a hour to buy some khakis for my job at doggy day care at Target. Left after spending $115...god damn you Target!!!
Well. The good thing is that since it's bacterial, I won't be contagious 24 hours after I start the antibiotics. If it were something viral is he contagious for several days. I cleaned my house really well and everyone is taking their chances and still coming over. H and Blb seem symptom free so far. I actually feel fine. My fever was gone by this morning so I'm just left with the sore throat which isn't even the worst sore throat I've had.
