Turns out what I had was Strep Throat! I've never had it before, but on Monday Night the pain had gotten so bad that I was in the car, headed to the Minute Clinic at CVS at 8 pm, until Josh ran out and told me it was probably closed. We checked online and yep, it closed at 7:30pm.
I got a blessing and was hopeful that I would be better by the morning. The morning came at 4 am and I was up again with a throatful of sharps. As advised by a few of my friends on facebook, I headed to the Dr.- Asher in tow. One hour and a half later, a grapefruit juice, ring pop, new face wash, antio-biotics in hand and $42 less in my pocket, I was on the road to recovery.
The pain wore off last night and I was able to eat something soft. It was Heaven! This morning I woke up at 4 am again and after reading in bed for a few hours decided that 7 am was as good a time as any to eat my Valentine, nut covered chocolates. I ate 2 (again HEAVEN after almost 2 days of no eating) but they were not so good on my throat. I guess I'm still not recovered and I'm still contagious. Good thing the virus won't spread online! Not this kind anyway! Happy Wednesday and getting better day!

Lovely- A relaxing bath after the kids went down and a good book to read when I wake up at night (Enchantment by Orson Scott Card)
Awful- Strep Throat. Which caused me to lose sleep several nights in a row, which is NOT good for someone with Bipolar Disorder and a tendency to become manic w/ less sleep.
