Yuck

I am SICK. Yesterday I thought maybe; today there is no doubt. My throat feels swollen and it hurts to swallow. I looked in the mirror with a flashlight, thinking it felt like my tonsils were swollen, but no, it's farther back than that. And among the redness there are a couple of white dots. Greeeeaaaat. So much for the ski weekend.

Of course this happens to coincide with the day I'm falling off my monthly naproxen sodium ride, which means my stomach is churning and I have a massive headache. If I weren't so embarrassed about not getting certain stuff done at work I'd be HOME!!

*sigh* Well, by the end of the day the headache and stomach problems should be gone. And if I can get my work done TOO, then I can sleep a bunch!

Owie! If you've got white spots, watch for a fever or bad breath. Either could mean strep throat, and then it won't matter what work you have to do, because you'll be pretty dang contagious.

I'm probably contagious anyway, which worries me. If this isn't what Rob just had, I may already have given it to him. I've also told all my coworkers to stay away from me (one advantage of a computer job is that I really can work in physical isolation). The last thing we need is the whole team down.
