sick!

After a crazy weekend and beginning of the week at work, my body finally decided to say STOP!!!  Tuesday night, my throat started to feel a little like it was on fire... but I had a big event at work on Wednesday night, so not going to work didn't seem like an option (though I was able to run home and take a nap for a bit).  Anyways, by the end of the night, I was pretty miserable, so I stayed home from work today.  I went to the doctor, and after getting my throat swabbed twice, and and it taking 4 tries to draw blood, both the strep and mono test came back negative... so I'm not quite sure what is going on, but they gave me some medicine, which has definitely helped a bit.  There are a couple of things I really need to get done at work, so this isn't the ideal time to get sick, but at the same time, having a day to sit on the couch and do nothing has been much needed.  The boyfriend was super sweet last night and took great care of me--after my work event he made me chicken noodle soup, and was just so wonderful.  Don't know what I'd do without him.
