Sick of being sick

So as the title explains, I'm sick of being sick. For the last 2 and half weeks I have been pretty sick. I thought that I had the flu and actually saw a doctor for the first time in god knows how long. The only time I saw a doctor over the past few years was my OBGYN when I was pregnant with Troy, and all the genetic specialists where I had my prenatal procedures done. I don't like going to the doctor and I try and just rough it out. But boy did I learn that I cannot be doing that anymore. When you have a kid, you need to stay on top of yourself because if you don't, you can't stay ontop of them.

I went to the doctor 2 mondays ago and was told I had the flu. After a few days I actually started feeling worse. It got to the point where my neck was completely stiff and my tonsils and glands were completely swollen. My doctor told me to go to the ER and I did. They told me that I have a respiratory infection and strep. I have been on antibiotics and painkillers since Saturday. They were a little over zealous and gave me liquid Vicodin. I have barely used it because I really hate painkillers and how they make me feel. Painkillers for me are emergency only. I have like 3 bottles left over from when I had Troy because I just don't use them. I went to work today and it was a relief. I got sent home yesterday morning due to potential of being contagious. So I was happy to get back to being busy and making the day go by quickly.

Troy is currently asleep thank goodness. Bobby told me that he didn't sleep at all today which led me to believe it was going to be a rough night for me. I think he was worn out at the store. I had to run to Walmart today after work when I got home to get my mom's birthday gift. I'm going to do my best to make it a two parter. I mailed out her card today, and as I'm writing this, I forgot to get Troy to sign her card. Ugh. Sorry Mom! I know you read this blog from time to time so you're not getting any birthday gift spoilers, sorry!

I've been binge watching The Secret Circle on Netflix and I'm getting close to the end so I'm taking a breather. I cannot believe it was cancelled after one season. This is Firefly all over again. I watched this when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I'm enjoying it alot more this time around. I cannot see why they wouldn't have renewed this. I can't find anything terrible about it.  But I digress. Bobby is at school, I'm exhausted, and hungry. Waiting for Bobby to get home from school so we can have dinner, hang out a bit before we go to bed.

Signing off for now! Ta Ta!
