Long story short: Thursday was worse, my glands were now swollen enough to resemble a small goiter. At this point I couldn't swallow my saliva so I was spitting in a cup and I decided that if it was not better in the morning I might A. shoot myself in the head, or B. go to the doctor. The doctor was "surprised" I tested positive for strep, and I was "surprised" I didn't shoot HIM in the head for being "surprised," but instead joyfully accepted his prescription for Amoxicillin.
After taking only 3 of the 30 pills I must finish, I felt like a human being again. It took less than 24 hours before I could swallow without distorting my face like I was in a low budget horror movie. I feel sooooo much better.
Die streptococcal pharyngitis. DIE.
On that happy note...here's some incredibly random pictures for your viewing pleasure. I realized I haven't been posting pictures lately, and that I never showed off the boys bunk beds. Or the cute hand painted letters Auntie Becca gave them for Christmas. Only 8 months in the house before the boys room was finished. Not bad.

Cute room! Or I mean, what a manly room:) Hope you feel better Ang...and I hope that this is all the sickness you guys experience for the rest of the year! Yuk!
So - is there still a puggle in your life? Or did I miss his exit?
Yes! Felix is still alive and kickin. He's had a few near death experiences all seeming to involve his healthy appetite (eating a turkey carcass and a few months later an entire bottle of antacids). The kids and I are thankful he seems to have those nine lives that his feline friends do. Dan's name is conspicuously absent from that sentence, isn't it?
The boy's room looks great! Where did you get the bunk beds? They look perfect, a very nice size! And I am glad that your entire family is feeling better!!!
Ryan and I woke up with Strep on the same morning. It was horrendous. Really awful. and the headache - Oh My Lands! I thought I would never feel better.
I feel your pain. Glad your pain is improving!
Thanks for the entertaining report. Enjoyed it, as always. So glad you're better.
