It must be that time of year again...

About a month ago, I had a stomach bug. That was pretty horrible, and I was out for two days. So, I thought I was out of the woods right? WRONG!

I got sick again, on Sunday, and I've been sick since. I went to the doctor on Monday night because my fever hadn't gone down with advil or without. They told me that I had strep. Oh, the good old strep. Really nice of them to give me drugs for that too. 

Earlier that day, I hadn't even considered it to even be step! Only because I hadn't had it since I was in, oh...3rd grade? I thought I was immune to it or something. Wrong, yet again. 

I went back to school on Wednesday, after being on drugs for 24 hours and being fever free. It was rough, I had several coughing/hacking fits. I didn't have all that much make up work or tests.(Dr. Hayward did something nice and made me exempt from everything! Love her for that!). I was tired when I got home, so I took a nap and work up around 5:45 with a fever over 101. Great, just what I wanted! So, I took my drugs, and next thing I know THE POWER GOES OUT! Which meant the heat, light, and the refrigerator. That definitely was not ok, definitely not, when you have a horrid cough and a high fever. HA! 

So, I didn't go to school today either. I slept almost all day so far, and I don't have a fever anymore. Praise God. I have exams all next week, and I couldn't afford all this 'being sick' business. Sheesh, pretty awesome.

Well, in more fabulous news, my youth leader, Ashley Hathcox, got engaged! She got engaged on Thanksgiving, to a pretty awesome guy, I've never met him but if she said yes, he has to be awesome! I'm so happy for her!
