strep throat hiatus

Oh, blog. How you've been neglected for almost an entire two weeks. I'm sorry, my precious, but there was just no way. Exams, studying, work, and then sickness. I'm not talking, "we woke up with the sniffles and wore cute jammies while cuddling on the couch all day." I'm talking first having head cold symptoms which turned into aches, fevers, and chills and was then topped off with a horrendously swollen and sore throat. I have a delicious recipe for cheesy hashbrown soup that I hope to get up and running by tomorrow though in case any of you are currently ill and sickly and in need of some comfort food.

 

No, this isn't the most glamorous photo, but look at her throat! This was before the official strep diagnosis was given but I already had those disgusting white patches on my throat (and we were told no, it's not strep take Tylenol). I think that my swab was processed wrong because I am 98% sure it should have been positive, but hey, at the end of the day I guess I'm not a doctor or a medical technologist processing cultures. Regardless, it was an extremely rough week for me and the girls (and Brendon got his positive results today....).

Piper's sleep has been extra wacky.
School has been extra time consuming.
Work has been.. well, work.

School is over in one month and I'm getting more and more nervous about my grades and making sure they are where they need to be for applying into nursing school. One stress reliever I found while I was sick was a new cat game!


It's called Neko Atsume and the goal is to lure cats into your yard with food and play toys (this was after I hastily spent $4 on upgrades.. NO RAGRETS) and snap a million pictures of them for your kitten Pokedex.



5 more days of antibiotics to go.
