It's 11:11am on a weekday. I'm in bed. And its driving me batty. Yesterday I got sent to the doctor by my office. My eyes were red and I had a fever. I call my doctor and ask for the first available appointment. They had one in twenty minutes if I could make it.
I go over there, a little paperwork later, a few minutes with the doctor, temperature of 102, and I'm left with the result. It's either strep throat or mononucleosis. She gave me a prescription for strep and said if I break out with a rash, its mono. Wonderful.
Well, I have ZERO time for this. Seriously. I drop off my prescription, then head back to the office. It's 4pm. I've got something I need to finish before the end of the day, then I need to go babysit at 6pm.
I complete an online order for some soup before I leave my office. At 10 till 5, the sky opens up and its pouring buckets. Sigh. Doesn't matter, I have to go pick up my prescription, and then go babysit. The streets were already flooding so traffic tripled my travel time. I made it to the church about ten minutes late, but I was there. I'd already decided that I was going to have to tell the parents I was sick and feverish. I refuse to put those little ones in my hands knowing I was contagious without their parents being aware of it.
The lady I help was there when I walked in. She took one look at me and told me to go home. She said I was pale, more pale than usual, and I should leave. So now I was left with not wanting to leave her by herself and not wanting to get the kids sick. In the end, I went home. But I wasn't happy about it.
Wake up this morning, and I'm burning up. Ugh. I'm achy, and every once in a while, I shiver myself awake from the stupor I'm in. And now I'm bored. Hence this post. I can't rest cuz I'm thinking about all the stuff I need to do, and I can't do anything cuz whether I want to or not, I'm physically not able to do it.
